News just breaking he has died after a surgery.
Very good actor in my opinion and was pretty funny in true lies.
Pity. RIP

He did indeed.

After reading an article on his death it turns out I have always been confusing Bill Paxton with Bill Pullman.

The_Valeyard · 26-02-2017 05:08PM

He has been Terminated.

A very good actor.

Had big and small roles in some very iconic movies.

RIP

That has to be on his headstone, you can't think of him and not recite that line.

Don't you mean his Tombstone

Great actor and the kind of actor that if I seen he was in the film I didn't know, I'd be more likely to watch it.

That's something I didn't know. It was a great movie. I liked the fact that powers booth was in too. What a great name..

Hudson was excellent, but Chet will always be my favourite of his roles!

3rd biggest killer in America.

Sorry for his loved ones.

But honestly, this hagiography for celebreties and actors, singers and so on is just ridiculous now.

Are they any better than those in your own family/circle that you lose? That won't be on media either.

Better to go quietly and rage against the dying of the light if you can before you go.

I can! What film was it from?

The Indwpendent have called him "Titanic actor Bill Paxton..." which seems odd. Twister.is the film I'd most associate him with

If a family member died I wouldn't post it here because no one here would know them.
Unlike, say, an internationally famous movie star whose movies a lot of people here have enjoyed.

Well celebrities generally have high profile lives where very little escapes the attention of the media. So when an actor or singer dies it get printed all over the news. That along with the fact that these people are well remembered for their work because they bring us much joy and happiness. It's not that they are any better or more important than a normal person, but there is a very big difference between mourning a celebrity who is very well known to the public, and mourning a stranger who people know very little of.

Anyway it's sad to hear nonetheless. He was right in the middle of doing a new tv series, Training Day.
