'Furious 7' Stars Show Support for Paul Walker's Brother's Possible Acting Pursuit

Furious 7 opens this weekend, and the action-packed seventh installment in the franchise is poised to be one of the biggest box office blockbusters in years. However, the film came very close to not being finished at all when star Paul Walker died in a car accident in November 2013.

With most of the film already shot and complete, Walker's family stepped up to the plate to help the filmmakers finish the late star's final film.
