We're told the actor died suddenly Saturday due to complications from surgery.

"We were just enjoying his new TV show...Training Day."

I had just finished watching the latest episode with OnDemand when I read of his death. I posted this earlier, but then remembered that the last scene in the 4th episode is of Paxton sitting in a cemetery, having a drink, and speaking to his old partner Billy at his gravesite. Prophetic?

[montag813]

Was this Mormoncide, for his role in “Big Love”?

[Bronzewound]

Change your title...confusing

I used the exact title from the article, as is protocol.

In honor of Bill, I will send you a prayer...and you will be fine. God Bless.

“I’m still not convinced that Abe Vigoda isn’t even now enjoying margaritas on some secluded beach in Maui.”

FISH LIVES!!

[vpintheak]

“Game over man! Game over!”
RIP

[Nifster]

When I read the title it said I’ll Paxton...

[nutmeg]

I’d just as soon not have seen this story anyway, being 61 and scheduled for abdominal surgery in a couple of weeks.

Prayers for you, but I'm sure you will be just fine.

I've been under general anesthesia about 11 times during my lifetime... I'm still here. :-)

Chet!

NO! Not Chet! NOooooooo!

[Hardastarboard]

Lolololol!!!!!!!!! Damn you! I almost swallowed my tongue when I read that.

[Verginius Rufus]

Wikipedia lists 65 movies he acted in. I have seen exactly one of them (Stripes).

If someone had asked me yesterday if Bill Paxton was a Congressman, an author, an actor, or a musician, I wouldn't have known the answer.

You never saw Apollo 13?

You have to check that one out. It really was very good.

[Slyfox]

"Twister" is the best movie to watch when your area is in a tornado watch and it is real windy.

The weather makes for the best surround sound. Guaranteed to give you the shivers.

[HartleyMBaldwin]

Thanks to all of you. I’m sure it will go fine.

[Rebelbase]

He also go shot in the leg as Sam Huston in Texas Rising.

[Verginius Rufus]

Why would I watch a movie about Apollo 13? I already know how it turned out.

[New Jersey Realist]

Damn shame. I really liked his latest show, Training Day. Great actor.

[radiohead]

I’m surprised no one mentioned, ‘JFK: The Final Hours,’ which Paxton narrated.

He was at the parade in Dallas (there is a picture of him in the crowd) and talks about his experiences as well as the general events of the day of the assassination.

“Game over, man!”

Seriously though, he was a terrific actor, I’m really sorry to read about this. RIP.

I still don’t know who he was

He was probably best known for his role in "Aliens," but he was actually a very talented character actor, and from everything I've read about him, a decent guy.

He was really terrific in "Apollo 13" as well.
