Paul Walker RIP: His 5 Most Memorable Roles

4. Lance Harbor - Varsity Blues

Varsity Blues Most movie watchers may solely remember this gem for the infamous scene in which Ali Larter covers her nude private parts in whipped cream, but it actually contains one of Paul€™s earliest and most memorable film roles. He graces the screen as Lance Harbor, a high school Football Quarterback with great potential. He is coached under some extremely harsh conditions that dictate winning is all that matters, but the sport of Football is Lance's passion. A busted knee however is relentlessly eating away at his ability to play, and despite Coach Kilmer's (Jon Voight) sleazy orders of taking performance enhancing drugs to alleviate the pain, his knee gives out completely. It's from this predicament that Walker is able to deliver a gripping coming of age performance where he affectionately supports his team both on and off the field. . From being privileged in working with veteran actors to turning in another charismatic performance,Varsity Blues is a cult classic film that jump started Walker's career to new heights.
