Cody Walker just signed a deal with Paradigm Talent Agency and is looking forward to pursuing a career in Hollywood. According to The Hollywood Reporter, Cody's late brother Paul Walker also started his Hollywood career with the agency, and there remained for several years.
Cody, 26, recently worked with his older brother Caleb as stand-ins for Paul in "Furious 7." They did the scenes that were not completed due to Paul's untimely death in November 2013. CGI was later used to add the late actor's likeness over his brothers' scenes.
During an interview with Australian radio network KIISFM, Cody said, "About 70 to 80 percent of the film was actually completed before the accident occurred and they used Caleb and I to fill in where they needed material."
While pursuing a new career in acting, Cody will remain as the brand manager for Paul's nonprofit organization Reach Out WorldWide. He is a licensed paramedic and has focused the majority of his career working with his brother for ROWW, providing disaster relief charity for those in need.
As reported by the Daily Mail, Cody and girlfriend Felica Knox have just arrived in Australia to promote the new "Furious 7" film and is scheduled to appear at the Paul Walker Car Convoy Charity Drive. There, he will unveil a commemorative plaque honoring his brother as well as a mosaic that features Paul's likeness in Melbourne.
It is unsure if Cody will first prioritize small scenes in future "Fast and Furious" films or if he will move away from the franchise and start working on separate projects that may set him apart from the body of work his brother had accomplished during his time in Hollywood.
"Furious 7" earned over $143.6 million at the domestic box office during its opening weekend, breaking the opening records for the month of April, and has grossed a worldwide total of $507 million at the time of writing.
