Bill Paxton RIP at 61 yrs old

Way too young to die.

Complications from heart surgery led to a fatal stroke.

So many good roles in movies, HBO etc. I think of him as a great supporting actor that made movies very real. Apollo 13 as an example.

RIP

He didn't seem that old!
He was a good guy, too bad.

Pretty good actor. I remember noticing him for the first time in True Lies. He played this sleazy car sales man pretending to be a spy.
He was pretty good in Apollo 13 as well. In fact I recently watched his old movie A Simple Plan.

RIP

RIP.

He was Hudson in Aliens. Supporting character in Titanic. Minor character in Terminator. (He did lots of James Cameron projects.)
Starred in Twister also.

One role I think people should see of his is the movie Frailty.

Just saw him in a trailer for a new movie.
It so sad we just never know what these people that entertain us have going on in their lives.
Yah to young to die from operations gone bad.

Ohhh that's right, i totally forgot he was in that film. I've must have seen that film countless of times when i was a kid growing up in the 1980's. He was hilarious.
Every teenage boys fantasy at that time...Kelly Le Brock.

Bill Paxton had a pretty good range as an actor. Starting out from comedy to drama later on in his career.
Left us way too soon.

Near Dark sticks in my head as a great Paxton film from the 80's. Classic cult vampire movie.
