Bruce Willis was only known for being funny
Due to his role on ‘Moonlighting,’ Willis was only known for his comedy chops. The producers didn’t have anything against him as an actor, they just didn’t know that he could be a badass. But, ironically enough, this was the film that changed everything for him. Since then, the action genre is where Willis lives, even though he’s got two Emmy’s for his comedy work, and so far, no Oscars.
