Walker made his debut in the action film
Furious 7 (2015) after his older brother
Paul Walker died on November 30, 2013, in a
single-vehicle accident. Cody and Caleb Walker both stepped in to help finish their brother's scenes as
Brian O'Conner in the movie, which was still filming at the time of Paul's death.
Furious 7 premiered in Los Angeles on April 1, 2015, and was theatrically released in the United States on April 3, exactly six years after the
fourth film was released. Upon release, the film became a critical and financial success, and it grossed $397.6 million worldwide during its opening weekend, which was the
highest of all-time at the time. There were some reports that he would be in
The Fate of the Furious (2017) as a new role, or replace his older brother in the role of Brian O'Conner; however, it was later announced that the character would not return to the franchise. He portrayed
Petty Officer Third class James West in the
World War II film
USS Indianapolis: Men of Courage (2016) alongside
Nicolas Cage and
Matt Lanter. The film is based largely on the true story of the loss of
the ship of the same name in the closing stages of the Second World War. Walker played Eric Shaw in the action-adventure film
Shadow Wolves (2019), which was originally planned to be a television series. He appeared in the war drama film
The Last Full Measure (2020) as Young Kepper. Beginning in the fall of 2023, Walker and his wife Felicia will be the new hosts of a renovation series known as
Fast: Home Rescue for
broadcast syndication to be produced by
Byron Allen's company Futureman Media Group. ==Philanthropy==
