Many of Walker’s non-Fast roles are also streaming. His early film roles as popular high-school teens in Varsity Blues and She’s All That are available on Netflix and (in the case of She’s All That) Amazon’s Prime Instant Video. His more recent, posthumously released movies Hours and Brick Mansions are also streaming. Meanwhile, his well-reviewed 2001 horror movie Joy Ride and first big movie role in Pleasantville are both available on iTunes and Amazon.
Pleasantville (1998): One of Walker’s first major movie roles was in this 1998 film starring Tobey Maguire and Reese Witherspoon as two ’90s teenagers transported into a black-and-white TV town that begins to change into color as Maguire and Witherspoon’s characters shake up the wholesome world. Director Gary Ross told Walker he’d been cast when the broke actor showed up at the casting office to pick up his head shots to reuse them for future auditions. He was in disbelief when Ross told him he got the part, exclaiming, “”DUDE! I can turn on MY PHONE!”
