REBEL

McQueen's love for anything on wheels was evident. If he wasn't filming, he could be found cruising Mulholland Drive or doing wheelies in the Mojave Desert. His love for speed made it into most of his films, in which he can be seen doing many of his own stunts. With a long list of races on his resume, one couldn't be sure if he was more an actor or a racer.

"When you're racing, it's life. Anything that happens before or after is just waiting."
