Paul Walker's brother has signed a major deal with the Paradigm agency after picking up the acting bug while filling in for his late sibling on the set of Furious 7.

Cody Walker, a licensed paramedic, stepped in to help director James Wan complete his brother's scenes in the film after Paul was killed in a car crash in 2013, while shooting the latest sequel in the action movie franchise.

He signed his brother's manager, Matt Luber, for representation and has been taking meetings with top talent companies since the beginning of the month (Apr15). Paradigm's bosses were the first to pick him up.
