Including Charles in Charge, Who's the Boss? and The Young and the Restless.

But it didn't take him long to put his TV days behind him...

His role in the 1999 flick Varsity Blues earnt him significant attention and turned the heads of critics.

But his breakthrough came with a very well-known franchise.

In 2001, Paul landed the role we all know and love him for: starring as Brian O'Conner in The Fast and the Furious.

The flick firmly cemented him as an action-movie mainstay.

And he subsequently became the face associated with the smash-hit franchise.

The Fast and Furious was a huge success.

The movie grossed an impressive $207.3 million at the box office and ultimately kickstarted the hugely popular franchise. 

2 years later, the franchise returned to screens with its first sequel, 2 Fast 2 Furious.

The movie was even more successful than the first, raking in a whopping $236.3 million in revenue at the box office.

Paul featured in the movie's 4 sequels and short prequel...

He kept himself busy, to say the least.

The star also went on to venture away from the franchise...

Paul tragically passed away on 30th November 2013, aged only forty.

While he was in Santa Clarita, California, attending a charity event, the star was involved in a fatal car crash.

He was reportedly in the passenger seat of a Porsche when his friend, who was driving, lost control, causing the vehicle to crash into a tree.

The car was engulfed in flames.

In his untimely death, Paul left behind his daughter, Meadow, who was only fifteen-years-old at the time.

Meadow Walker, who is now twenty-one, lost her dad too soon.

But he is evidently in her thoughts regularly, as she frequently shares heartwarming photos of the pair together before his death.

It is truly heartbreaking to see.

But Meadow is evidently eager to continue working for things Paul was passionate about, such as ocean-clean-up methods and animal rescue.

In 2015, only 2 years after his death, Meadow launched the Paul Walker Foundation, a charity campaign with the simple mission to "do good."

She explained: "Reflecting on my father, I found myself reflecting on his passions. His passion for the ocean, his passion for rescuing animals, his passion for helping people and his passion for spontaneous goodwill. I wanted to start this foundation because I want to share that piece of him with the world. I want to share that part of him with others."

And, on what would've been Paul's 47th birthday ...

Meadow paid a beautiful tribute on Instagram. She shared one photo of her and her dad, writing: "The moment I realized we are twins. happy birthday to the most beautiful soul."

She shared another photo too.

In a longer post, Meadow wrote: "In honor of my dad's birthday, I'm kicking off our annual do good challenge. this year, I'm keeping it simple and close to my heart. I am so blessed to be in love with my best friends. thank you Diva and Morgan for working on this project with me to capture a snippet of our friendships. my friendships are my foundation. they are my family. tell your friends you love them and acknowledge them for standing by your side no matter what."

She truly is a chip off the old block.

But this week, in honor of Thanksgiving, she shared an incredibly rare photo of Paul as a child.

Here's the adorable snap.
