far too young.... great actor. Was terrific in Tombstone. Hopefully he sees that light. RIP Bill Paxton.

This should really be in News/Current Events, not General/Chat (where threads go to die, no pun intended).

Oh no!! So sad, loved him as an actor, especially in “Aliens.” What was his cause of death?
RIP

So many movies he was good in. I enjoyed his part as Master Sergeant Farell in Edge of Tomorrow, and he was great as Chet in Wierd Science. R.I.P.

Good post. Enjoying their characters on film and TV is exactly how I’d like to remember actors. This crop of filth in Hollyweird now is making that impossible.

What was his cause of death?Complications from surgery. It's breaking so there's certainly more details coming.

Great line.
I am sad about this. Always thought he was a great actor and seemed like a nice guy in interviews. Seemed like he was fun. His son just guest stared on his new show “Training Day” and his daughter is in “Stranger Things”. Not sure what they will do about “Training Day” now. I guess they will cancel it. I haven’t watched it so not sure how the ratings were.
Surgery problems are becoming more common now a days. Seems like such a problem that doesn’t need to happen.

Wow—that is really too bad. His performance as Pvt Hudson in “Aliens” will always be a classic.
