It might be quite difficult to imagine Bruce Willis in a comedy role, but initially, when the actor started his journey in Hollywood, it was with a comedy TV series titled Moonlight. He was much loved in that role and imagining him in any other type of role other than comedy was proving to be quite difficult for the audience. Bruce Willis managed this shift, with his 1988 movie – Die Hard. Although he earned a lot of popularity with this role, Bruce Willis did not limit himself to being an action hero. He went on to work in thrillers like Pulp Fiction and dramatic movies like The Sixth Sense. He has even worked in dark humor films like – The Whole Nine Yards.
