Bruce Willis’ Acting Legacy Explained

A Day to Die was released on March 22, 2022. In that same month, Willis officially retired from acting after news broke that he was suffering from an aphasia diagnosis. His retirement did not mean the end of releases from the actor, as he still had several films coming down the pipeline, but it did mean that the number of new Willis-featuring releases was limited.

When Willis retired from acting, he left behind decades of notable work. Most prominently, his filmography includes playing the iconic John McClane in Die Hard and its sequels. He is also known for his roles in acclaimed independent films such as Pulp Fiction and Moonrise Kingdom. Willis also played a significant part in the TV series Moonlighting, which was recently announced to be getting a digital release.

Willis spent the last years of his career acting in predominantly low-budget, poorly-reviewed action films, with A Day to Die being no exception. His last on-screen appearance was in 2023’s crime-thriller Assassin. Even with the poorer reviews later on in his career, Willis leaves behind a long legacy of action stardom, helping define the nature of the modern action hero.
