Apparel Search has selected Bruce Willis as a fashion celebrity.
Willis's career turns on one of television's great second acts. David Addison in Moonlighting (1985–1989) made him a television star in a witty detective series; John McClane in the Die Hard series then made him the defining action lead of his era, in films that were mostly critical and uniformly financial successes. The sixty-plus films around those poles show the spread the record claims for him — comedic, dramatic and action roles — from Pulp Fiction and 12 Monkeys through The Fifth Element, Armageddon, The Sixth Sense and Unbreakable to Sin City, Moonrise Kingdom and G.I. Joe: Retaliation.
