Nearly five years have passed since we lost Paul Walker, and no matter how quickly the years add up, that loss still leaves a big hole in our hearts. The charismatic leading man with the brightest smile was best known by fans for portraying Brian O’Conner in the Fast and Furious franchise. Those who knew him best, though, remember Walker for his huge heart, larger than life personality, his devotion to his family, his passion for surfing and auto racing, his commitment to marine biology, and his humanitarian efforts.

Director Adrian Buitenhuis and producer Derik Murray’s documentary, I Am Paul Walker, brought together those who were closest to Walker to honor the legacy of the Southern California native who died in a car accident on Nov. 30, 2013, which also claimed the life of Walker’s friend Roger Rodas following a charity event. The feature first premiered on Paramount Network earlier this year, and the director’s cut is being released by Virgil Films on the fifth anniversary of the actor’s tragic passing.
