The deceased actor Paul Walker's younger, lookalike brother Cody has been asked to step in for him to film the final scenes for Fast & The Furious 7, it emerged yesterday.
The 40-year-old star, who had reprised his role as Brian O'Connor, was on a break from filming at the time of his death in a shocking car crash in Los Angeles on November 30.
His younger brother Cody Walker, 25, who has worked as a movie stuntman, is set to take his place in the latest installment of the hit franchise.see more.............

Paul's body was transferred from the mortuary at Los Angeles cemetery Forest Lawn Memorial Park to a crematory in Glendale, California. The funeral will be held on the weekend and will be a family affair, and it has been reported some of Paul's Fast & Furious co-stars such as Vin Diesel, Michelle Rodriguez and Tyrese Gibson will attend the small event.
Earlier this week, the family claimed plastic road markers may have been responsible for the crash that killed the star after stunt experts claimed the 2005 Porsche Carrera GT driven by Paul's friend hit the markers, called Bott's Dots, and careered out of control.
It has since emerged that car experts have long expressed concern about the souped-up model's suitability for the road, due to its ultra light carbon-fiber frame and 5.7 liter race-derived V10 engine. It has a flat out speed of 205 miles per hour and its design is derived from earlier Porsche Le Mans models. Porsche knew of the car's sensitivity when they launched the model in 2004.
