Bruce Willis OF MOONLIGHTING ON ABC
Lennie James in “Fear the Walking Dead”
Q: Did Bruce Willlis ever do another series after “Moonlighting”? A: Not in terms of being a regular cast member, but he did have another significant TV role afterward … and it’s on display often, given how frequently the series in question is still shown. He guest-starred on “Friends” for three episodes in 2000 as Paul, the disapproving father of Ross’s (David Schwimmer) considerably younger girlfriend Elizabeth (Alexandra Holden), and the two men eventually came to a meeting of the minds thanks to certain information Ross had about Paul (which the latter man didn’t want revealed). Willis earned a Primetime Emmy Award for the portrayal, marking the second one he won, his first having come for his work as wisecracking sleuth David Addison on “Moonlighting.” He also did guest shots on such shows as “Ally McBeal” and “Mad About You,” but movies had the bulk of his creative attention after he scored an enormous hit with the original “Die Hard” in 1988. That being said, the actor also hosted “Saturday Night Live” a couple of times, and he was the good-natured target of a “Comedy Central Roast” in 2018, with his ex-wife Demi Moore and “Moonlighting” leading lady Cybill Shepherd among those who took humorous shots at him. As is traditional for such events, though, Willis got to even the score with his own remarks at the end of that show. Joseph Gordon-Levitt, who played Willis’ younger self in the 2012 movie “Looper,” was the host of the “Roast.”
