Bruce Willis

German-born American screen actor, born in Idar-Oberstein in 1955. Following his TV success in the series Moonlighting, Willis was allowed to indulge his passion for vintage soul with a Motown contract. The resulting album was a lovingly-produced pastiche of 60s styles. However, a burgeoning movie career (including films like Die Hard, Pulp Fiction and Twelve Monkeys) soon ended his singing exploits.
