built 629 days ago
Paul Walker was a therapist who took over the work of the Erickson Educational Foundation after Reed Erickson died, forming Janus Information Facility. Originally at the University of Texas, Galveston, he moved to San Francisco in the late ‘70s to live more freely as an “out” gay man. Dr. Walker was instrumental in organizing the Harry Benjamin International Gender Dysphoria Association (HBIGDA) and in developing the first Standards of Care for transgendered clients.

A secretive underground society was discovered in 2000's The Skulls, Walker's next project. Of course, it was 2001's The Fast and the Furious that saw Walker evolve from teenie-bopper actor to full-blown star. Paul Walker, who did most of his own car stunts, and Vin Diesel, were honored with the award for Best On-Screen Duo at the 2002 MTV Movie Awards.
