And he saw John F Kennedy's final speech in person... as an 8yr old.

Can't forget he was a great director as well. For anyone who hasn't seen Frailty before it is a true hidden gem. He will be missed, I heard Training Day was quite good as well.

I really enjoyed his work. "Big Love" on HBO was actually a great show as well. RIP

If you haven't seen Frailty do yourself a favor and celebrate Paxton's life by watching it today (if you're looking to do that sort of thing.). My favorite of all his work, especially his direction.

For those looking, Frailty is not on Netflix, it is on Amazon instant video for $9.99 to buy. It's on Shaw VOD for $3.99 rental.

Storm chasers inspired by Bill Paxton and the movie "Twister" came together to honor him by spelling out BP on Spotter Network map! Amazing that they did this for him. Each dot is the location of a storm chaser/spotter. RIP Bill Paxton

Just a great resume of memorable roles and incredible acting. Will truly be missed.

rewatched Aliens; the bluray has a audio commentary track with him, Hicks, Bishop and Vasquez talking about the filming... sounded like a fun guy... definitely taken too soon

Just found out that Paxton also directed and starred in the bizarre 80s video "Fish Heads". I had no idea. I lived in the States when I was a kid (from '80-'87) and I remember this video being shown constantly on MTV.
