The actor first considered for the role of John McClane in "Die Hard" was Frank Sinatra. At the time, the film was based on a novel that Sinatra had previously starred in, and he had the option to reprise the character. However, as the project evolved, Bruce Willis ultimately secured the iconic role, which became a defining moment in his career.
The two children of John and Holly McClane (nee Gennero) seen in Die Hard (1988) are Lucy (born 1982) and John Jr. (born 1984).
Lucy is John McClane's beautiful daughter.
Bonnie Bedelia, who played Holly Gennero McClane in the first two "Die Hard" films, was not in "Die Hard with a Vengeance" (1995) or "Live Free or Die Hard" (2007) due to creative choices and storyline developments. The character of Holly was not included in the sequels, as the focus shifted to John McClane's character and new storylines. Additionally, Bedelia had other commitments and projects during the time of filming these sequels.
In "Die Hard with a Vengeance," the character Simon Gruber is portrayed by actor Jeremy Irons. He plays the antagonist opposite Bruce Willis's character, John McClane. The film, released in 1995, is the third installment in the "Die Hard" series. Irons' performance as the clever and manipulative villain is widely praised.
