Default Bill Paxton star of Twister, Aliens, Apollo 13...dead at age 61
Complications from surgery takes away one of many great actors who stormed onto the scene in the 90's.

RIP

Jeez, was watching original Terminator just last night with my son and enjoyed his role as one of the punkers Arnie killed in the first reel. Rest in peace.

wow, wasn't he just in a new series remaking training day.

I still remember him as Chet from Weird Science



Its sobering when you realize how fast you can leave this life.

RIP

Killed by a Predator, Terminator and an Alien in film. That's a mighty big honour.

RIP.

He was so awesome at the Calgary Expo. At the end of the show on Sunday he told everyone on the intercom in his Aliens voice to "Get the eff out!" !!

And left in his pee-soaked silk boxers in front of Arnie and Tom Arnold at gunpoint, for getting busted trying to wheel Arnie's wife in his trailor. Because his penthouse in New York wasn't safe.

RIP, this one gets to me. Always had a soft spot for him for some of his secondary comedic roles.

And his new show Training Day was 4 episodes in and had a lot of potential.

Wow.

Noooooooooo! What was the surgery? Even though he will be remembered most for his supporting roles A Simple Plan is an excellent movie. So bummed out. RIP.

He was awesome one of the funniest supporting role actors. True Lies scene with Arnie in the vette.

Very sad news. One of my all-time favorite character actors: Chet in Weird Science, Hudson in Aliens, the sleazy used car salesman in True Lies, The Terminator, Apollo 13, Near Dark, Tombstone, Predator 2...not to mention stellar performances in A Simple Plan, Nightcrawler, and director/star of the underrated southern-gothic horror flick, Frailty. this guy's resume is amazing. He'll be missed.

Tough way to go, as if any way is easy.

Enjoyed a lot of films he was in.

This is very sad news. His role as the used car salesman/"secret agent" in true lies was priceless.

Damn, RIP Bill. I loved him in Frailty. One of my favorite movies and one of the few I'll watch repeatedly. Sad news (
