Unhappy

I couldn't believe it!
I always liked that guy...Good looking Texan, and funny to boot. If you have not seen his series, "Big Love", I would recommend it! And, who can forget that classic, "Twister"! Such a shame to be taken so young.

RIP.. Really liked him in a lot of movies. Made a great Sgt. in Edge of Tomorrow, but was great in so many other movies.

What a shame, he was an entertaining fellow. I liked him portraying the cheesy pathological liar car salesman in True Lies.

Paxton was in Titanic ? don't remember that .

He was in the movie " A Simple Plan " which is very good http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0120324/...nm_flmg_act_36

61 seems way too early but another reminder to be grateful for everyday we have .

" Surviving at Nature's Whim "

A lot of great roles from him. Aliens , Near Dark, U-571 , Weird Science , T Stone , goes on and on.

Kinda a cool movie fact but for the longest time he was the only actor to be killed off by an alien , predator and terminator. Lance Henrikson is also in that elite club now with the 2004 ish release of aliens vs predators

One of the best movie lines of all time from Aliens, "Well ..... man, lets put her in charge." In response to Sigourney Weaver telling everyone that the little girl has managed to survive by herself. He delivered that line beautifully.

His best role was Bill Paxton (as Pvt. Hudson) in "Aliens" ... but it's a dry heat!

THE 1990 movie Navy SEALS with Charlie Sheen and Michael Biehn. Paxton played sniper "Dane". A the beginning of the movie they were doing a debrief and they asked him if he engaged hostiles, he said "I vaporized hostiles". One of my favourite lines in the movie.
