    Default Bill Paxton has died

    Saw this earlier. Apparently he had complications during an undisclosed surgery and never recovered. He was 61. Loved him in his early stuff from youth playing Chet in Weird Science and of course the flippant grunt Pvt. Hudson with the punch lines in Aliens and Apollo 13. Tombstone was great! Always had that drawl in his voice and proved versatile from director to actor. I didn't even realize he was now starring in the TV version of Training Day.

    He was awesome on Aliens. Wonder if they finished filming the Training Day season. It wasn't that good but would like to think he finished it. My kids enjoyed him on the Spy Kids films. RIP.

    Bill Paxton dead at 61 due to complications from surgery

    Bill Paxton, who starred in some of the biggest blockbusters of the 1980s and ’90s and kicked off a new TV series just weeks ago, died after heart surgery, his family said Sunday. He was 61.

    A family statement revealed the actor died Saturday after his operation.

    “It is with heavy hearts we share the news that Bill Paxton has passed away due to complications from surgery,” the statement said.

    Doug Liman, who directed Paxton in the 2014 action film “Edge of Tomorrow,” told the Daily News the actor talked to him weeks ago about the surgery.

    Paxton was worried, Liman recalled, but assured him he’d be ready to work. He was expected to reprise his role as Master Sgt. Farell in a planned “Edge of Tomorrow” sequel.

    Paxton sent Liman an email Jan. 29 that said: “Thanks for the good wishes. It will help me face this ordeal. Don’t worry, ‘Sgt Farrell’ will be ready to report for duty.”

    “Even facing major surgery, his optimism for the future was infectious,” Liman told The News. “He was talking about the future, things we hoped to do together.”

    “He was so beloved,” Gurry said. ‘All of us on the set of ‘Edge of Tomorrow’ idolized him. Down to the model makers who were painting the suits we would wear. They loved Bill more than anything.”

    A Texas native, Paxton racked up nearly 100 acting credits.

    After getting started with bit parts in the 1970s, he scored minor and supporting roles in 1980s fan favorites including “The Terminator,” “Aliens” and “Weird Science.”

    His profile rose in the ’90s, when he took the lead in the disaster hit “Twister” and played the modern-day treasure hunter in “Titanic,” which was the highest-grossing film of all time for more than a decade. Paxton also appeared in “Apollo 13,” “True Lies” and “Tombstone.”

    He also dabbled in directing, helming the films “Frailty” and “The Greatest Game Ever Played.”

    In the later part of his career, Paxton focused on television roles, starring in the HBO series “Big Love” and earning an Emmy nomination for his performance in the History Channel miniseries “Hatfields and McCoys.”

    Paxton stars in the CBS cop drama “Training Day,” which premiered this month.

    He will also appear in “The Circle,” an upcoming film adaptation of the Dave Eggers novel, in which he plays the father of Emma Watson’s protagonist.

    Paxton’s co-stars mourned him for his character and his ability to take on every role that came his way.

    “Bill Paxton could play any role, but he was best at being Bill — a great human being with a huge heart. My thoughts are with his family,” Arnold Schwarzenegger tweeted.

    When I read the heading, I also thought that this was the Bill Paxtom that was banned.
    Perhaps at this time we should invite "our Billy boy" back onto the forum, even if it's just to make sure they are not one and the same!

    I got him mixed up with Pullman too. Told people the president out of independence day was dead ffs.

    Great actor. The Chet his most memorable role for me besides Tombstone. Guess it's because I was a teenager and watched that film a couple of hundred times.

    RIP Bill

    Chet was funking hilarious, loved Weird Science. Apart from being in so many blockbuster movies he also starred in some smaller brilliant ones - Frailty (which he directed), A Simple Plan, One False Move and Trespass.
