Whatever Happened To Chad Michael Murray?

May 2024 ยท 2 minute read

They say you should never meet your heroes. But Chad Michael Murray ignored that piece of advice when he signed up to star in the 2020 movie "Survive the Night" alongside the man who inspired him to take up acting, Bruce Willis. And luckily, the Hollywood tough guy, who played Murray's father in the action thriller, didn't shatter any illusions.

In an interview with Express that same year, Murray revealed how honored he was to share the screen with such an icon. "It's one of those great moments in your life," he said. "Working with an actor of Bruce's caliber, I grew up watching Bruce in everything, from 'Die Hard' on. He's a legend, and he's left a mark in such a way that people try and emulate him and try to be like him, and have careers that can be even just a little bit close to his."

Murray got to star alongside his hero again in 2021's "Survive the Game," and the two men teamed up for the adventure film "Fortress" and its 2022 sequel "Fortress: Sniper's Eye." Speaking to 7 News Miami about working with Willis in one of his last films since announcing his retirement, Murray shared, "We got to know each other real well, to the point where I just felt like it was an older brother, younger brother type dynamic. Get up in the morning, he'd come walk towards me and give me this little shot in the gut and, you know, we'd goof around and talk old war stories and things like that."
