Moonlighting.

Demi as the love interest.

So close but not even close to love interest, and I am talking about TV love interest not RL. Google it quick, give a name. He was famous for this WAAAAAY before Die Hard, which you have nailed already.


Love interest?

This made him a name before the movies, which has already been mentioned. Older folk will understand which is already evident in this thread.

As already mentioned Moonlighting for TV, Die Hard for Movies. Demi was the first woman I can remember him with unless you are alluding to something going on with him and Cybil Sheppard.

Haven't they both said that there was no relationship though...

How does her name make Ferrydust right and everybody who said the name of the show wrong?

Not to mention that Die Hard made $150 million in 1988 while Moonlighting was never better than a low top 10 show(though it did win several awards).

Moonlighting(and Cybill Shepherd) may have made him slightly famous.

Die Hard made him a household name.

The love interest thing killed Moonlighting. Through almost the whole series there was none.

No I see where you asked for her name about halfway through the thread.

I will agree that Moonlighting put him on the first few steps towards fame.

Die Hard put him into an airplane for super-stardom.

Without Die Hard, he's just that guy who used to be in a pretty popular TV show whose only claim to fame since is TGIF(I'm looking at you Patrick Duffy)

Yes, you are young. He moistened many panties on TV way before Die Hard. Ask your parents.

Die Hard (1988)


What a shock, he got the part towards end of his TV debut. You have now learned something.

Damnit cracka, you didn't ask when did he become famous. You asked when did he really become famous. And that was with the Die Hard role. And Demi was his first wife. You totally screwed up your own questions by trying to lead everyone into answering with the wrong answers. It cannot be that you are right and everyone else is wrong....well, except in your own little world. Better put the whiskey away tonight, it's getting to you.

Yes, you are young. He moistened many panties on TV way before Die Hard. Ask your parents.


Moonlighting is an American television series that aired on ABC from March 3, 1985, to May 14, 1989


Die Hard (1988)


What a shock, he got the part towards end of his TV debut. You have now learned something.



/bow Night ACF.


I'm likely as old as, if not older than you.

Here are some facts for you...

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Moonlighting_(TV_series)#Ratings_and_decline

The show never did better than 9th, and that was its third season. Other than that it only made the top 20 twice in 5 seasons.

http://www.angelfire.com/ny2/televisioncity/8590.html
Can't confirm the accuracy of that link... but look what it was up against.

The show is a cult classic, no denying that, and like I said it got him in the door.

Die Hard bought him a room.

No doubt.



The only mistake I made was not clarifying I was asking for his first real "TV Love interest" and therefore I pulled in the Demi guesses.


As for the rest, sorry he became a household name because of moonlighting first, he became a mega star because of Die Hard. So that part of question is still correct. *IE had it not been for ML he very well may not have even been considered for the Die Hard part.



SO THERE!

He certainly did not become a household name for Moonlighting. Were you even alive then? And if so were you old enough to watch crap like that?

Only because your household could not afford a tv. *Judging from the responses here you seem to be in the minority. Now go scream at some kids on your lawn grandpa.

Shoot. We had 2 TVs in the house at that time. I just don't care about TV that much. But still, I did know who Cybil was. Bruce was a relative unknown until Die Hard. That's when he really became famous.

I'm gonna have to side with Reapist and others on this. Bruce Willis was really the side-kick on Moonlighting. I could have picked him out of a lineup and said "oh yea that's the guy on Moonlighting" don't think I could have told you his name until after Die Hard.

He was not a sidekick. He and Cybil were the co-stars of the show...back when he still had hair.

Meh, Just typical internet / ACF bs, if "I" never heard of it, ie obviously living under a rock at that time or high to not have heard of the show or the tv couple, THEN IT DOES NOT EXIST AND I AM RIGHT!!
