Once took a flight from Chicago with Mr. Paxton on the plane.  Ordinary Joe.  His roles were always supporting but he always left an impression.  Talented and way too young to go.  Huge loss to the entertainment community.  Will always be a fan of his work.

RIP Bill Paxton.

He was just on LeBetard's show about two weeks ago. What a shame, Aliens was one of the first rated "R" movies I ever saw and the line "Game over man" rang through my head for many sleepless nights.

"Game over, man, game over..." "One express elevator to hell...going down!" "Yeah, but it's a dry heat!" His delivery of, "Why don't you put her in charge," was itself worth the price of a ticket. But still, when I saw Aliens with friends in college we insisted on referring to his character as Chet instead of Hudson. Another poster mentioned Trepass, a terrific film also made better by his presence in it. He was awesome in Predator 2, recently in Edge of Tomorrow. He was great and winning and funny in everything he did. R.I.P. to a wonderful actor who brought magic to his films.

Hatfields & McCoys was a great TV mini-series and Paxton gave a great performance in it.  Given how strong he was in many different roles, I think he was underrated.  Maybe in time he'll be more appreciated.

Used a clip of him as Chet in Werid Science on another thread. 

Sucks to hear of his untimely death due to surgery. I wonder what was wrong with him?

Update: He had heart surgery and complications from it caused him to have a stroke which killed him

Paxton also directed "The Greatesf Game Ever Played." Underrated movie. It was before Shia LaBeouf went crazy.

Wow...surprising.   Just this past week I saw him on a large billboard in Hollywood promoting his new Training Day series, which caused me to think "oh thats what he is up to these days".  RIP

Rip Mr. Paxton.  One of the few Hollywood types who seemed like a down to earth guy.  Shit.

the Clairvoyant in Agents of Shield.  He gave a fine performance that came largely as the first season raised its game in the wake of Captain America: Winter Soldier.

RIP.
