Bruce Willis recently announced he is retiring from acting at the age of 67 after being diagnosed with aphasia, a language disorder caused by brain damage that affects a person’s ability to communicate.

Willis has been a bankable movie star since 1988’s “Die Hard.” For the last five years, he has been averaging five movies a year with nearly all of them going direct to Blu-ray/DVD. In most of these films, his involvement has been minimal, in hindsight it is clear why.
