I hvent seen Nightcrawler yet but I'm thinking of how different he was in Apollo 13 compared to True Lies.
Bill Paxton Dead at 61
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.
Didn't know you watched that. I watched the first season and part of the second, i liked it but got kind of bored of it. Paxton was great, might finish it now.

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!

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.

Grew up with this on tv, frequently repeated between kids shows, Paxton uncredited...

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.
RIP.

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.

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