I am definitely getting old since I’ve no idea who those people are.

Wait....was it 17 years ago Paul Walker passed? I should go google. Wow - if it is........

It's Paul Walker, star from the Fast and Furious films. Ironically died in a car accident.

Same. My reaction was "Are we supposed to know who these people are?"

I looked at his list of movies. The only one I saw was Pleasantville in 1998 and I don't remember him from it.

What exactly are you saying was 17 years ago? Maybe be a little more explicit.

I believe he died 17 yers ago?

Search "The Fast and the Furious" on Google. It was a Box Office hit. Great movie!

He died in 2013 I believe, I was in training class out of town for work and after lunch a bunch of the guys came back talking about it. could be wrong about the year but I don't think it's quite been 17 years.

Yes, not too specific on the post and no clue if he passed 17 years ago or if the movie came out 17 years ago. No matter. I know who they both are. I never did see the movie though.

I could be wrong. Google AI coughed the day up randomly.

If you haven't seen The Fast and the Furious, you really must. Great movie! And there were tonnes of sequels, some a tad ridiculous, some bang on!

He died in 2013....so sad.
Fast and Furious came out in 2001.

So not sure what was 17 years ago.

Sounds more like 11 years, doesn't it? Still, the time has flown by

Very true

He did not.

He did not.

Just to clarify...

"[Paul Walker] rose to stardom, playing the role of Brian O'Conner, in the famed Hollywood blockbuster series The Fast and Furious. Walker died in a tragic car accident on November 13, 2013, when he and Roger Rodas crashed into a tree while driving a Porsche Carrera GT in Santa Clarita, California. He was 40 years old."

So yeah, about 11 years ago.
