Reply to comment by theprophetquasimodo in Was Bruce Willis in Die Hard the ushering in of the modern everyman action star? by SquatOnAPitbull

Interesting. What set it apart for me was the beautiful head and body of hair.

Interestingly though, that wasn't a boon in his cap at the time. He was a "heart-throb" sure, but it was for a comedic tv role in a comedy drama show. Not exactly a role that screams action movie star, so there was actual concern by many at the time about whether or not people would go see him in a movie.
