Bruce Willis showed courage in several ways throughout his career: he kept trying to get on a television show called Planet Television despite many rejections as an unknown actor; he took a risk by quitting his stable job at a power plant to pursue acting; and he put in hard work for an uncredited role in the film "The Verdict". Bruce also demonstrated courage by signing a music contract despite knowing he wouldn't have a musical career, and by showing up to an audition with 15 other candidates for the role of Moonlighting.
