Bill Paxton Dead at 61

I hvent seen Nightcrawler yet but I'm thinking of how different he was in Apollo 13 compared to True Lies.

Aw that's a shame. I always rather liked Bill Paxton as a really good character actor in everything from Weird Science to Twister. Also enjoyed him during his run on Agents of SHIELD. And I really liked Frailty. Since seeing that a few years back I'd been hoping he would get behind the camera and direct again

He was great in Twister I remember going to Universal and doing the Twister experience which he narrated. Was a fun time.

He was great in season One Agents Of Shield and I have seen him off and on in movies. for me he was a solid supporting actor and played better as that but his Role in Twister just happened to work for him.

Yeah, I loved it so much for two seasons then it wore on me. I finished it though. I probably wouldn't have if my then wife hadn't liked it so much.

Well, if Mick Jagger doesn't die today, as I predicted last night.....

Clearly my third eye just has bad vision and needs reading glasses.

Both Bill and Mick are 4 letter first names.

Jagger and Paxton are 6 letter last names.

I saw the name in my psychic vision, but it was blurry - I couldn't read it. It said Bill Paxton, but I thought it said Mick Jagger. Sorry!

Stop ending lives SC you callous MoFo.

Was about to post that.

I'm sure someone as him wouldn't have found it offensive. What a gun guy, good actor. I enjoyed watched him on screen. Love him in Aliens and a nice surprise in Nightcrawler.

Must admit i've not seen Bill in that much, i usually thought of him as the dude in the big 80's action movies and the two i mentioned. Think it shows he was alot more than that since at least 15 different things he was in have been mentioned in this thread.

I think, on some psychic level, I knew Bill Paxton was going to die, and I was trying to prevent it, so I said Mick Jagger. I wouldn't have wanted Bill Paxton to die. I always thought Bill Paxton was hot. When someone hot dies, it's really devastating.

aw ****

I forgot he was in Nightcrawler. Jake Gyllenhaal's enemy.

I also haven't seen him in many movies, but wasn't Bill Paxton in "The Last Dinner"?

DAMMIT! Beaten again!

Just heard about this, it's a shame I really did enjoy his films such as Nightcrawler, Frailty, and A Simple Plan. Hearing about this does make me want to watch Twister again which I hadn't seen since I was a kid. It also makes me determined to finally get around to Aliens, which I've had recorded for a couple years now.

RIP.

Sad, such a cool presence, he was always there in the movies since I was a kid. RIP.

Will his name be added to the "In Memoriam" part of the Oscars tonight? Yes?

I would think they'd add him tonight.

I had no idea Al Jarreau died. From what I was told that was on Grammy night. And I guess they added him as the first person on the list.

I assume the Oscars will do the same with Bill Paxton.
