Bruce Willis is one of my favorite actors, and the action movies played by him Die Hard (1988) and Die Hard: With a Vengeance (1995), and directed by John McTiernan, the movies that I like the most.

Willis, a well known actor and musician, was born in West Germany in 19 March, 1955 and raised in New Jersey. He was chosen to play John McClane in Die Hard because the producers felt he brought warmth and humor to an otherwise cold and humorless character. His performance as John McClane in the "Die Hard" trilogy is ranked #46 on Premiere Magazine's 100 Greatest Movie Characters of All Time.

John McTiernan was born the 8th of January, 1951 in Albany, New York.

Director of the hit films Die Hard (1988) and The Hunt for Red October (1990), in a criminal-information case filed by the U.S. attorney, plead guilty to lying to F.B.I. agents about having had Anthony Pellicano wiretap producer Charles Roven (Three Kings (1999), Batman Begins (2005)). Sentenced to four months in federal prison on 09/24/07.
