His most iconic film apart from Fast & Furious was the film that brought him into the Hollywood vanguard in the first place: Varsity Blues.

In the film, Walker plays the role of Lance Harbor, a starting quarterback for a high school football team who becomes injured and is unable to play his senior season.

Sitting down with ET for the first time, Walker jokes about his hatred for co-star Scott Caan and discusses the on-set chemistry and his character.

As he admits in the interview, he lived vicariously through his character.

"Who hasn't dreamt about being a star player in virtually every sport, you know?" Walker says. "...Here I was, I had the opportunity to play in front of thousands upon thousands of screaming fans, and I was the quarterback on top of it, you know?"
