Wow. What was he having surgery for.

The first roll I remember him playing, was older brother Chet in Wierd Science.

Yeah, I'm sure we'll hear more about the surgery. Not sure what it was?

I always liked him as an actor. Apollo 13 was a good character. Many others.

RIP

I'm suddenly extremely sad. He was one of my favorites.

The first movie I saw him in

"They're coming outta the goddam walls!"

Bloody love the Alien films. He was excellent as Private Hudson. Funny how some celebrity deaths completely pass you by whereas others make you stop and think. This is definitely one of the latter for me.

It was the same with Sir John Hurt recently. Again, there's the link to the Alien franchise but he also did the voice for a character in a short animated film that both of my daughters absolutely adore.

R.I.P Bill Paxton

Loved him in Aliens as Pvt. Hudson! Here's some quotes...

"I'm ready man, check it out. I am the ultimate badass! State-of-the-badass-art! You do not want to fuck with me. Check it out. Hey Ripley! Don't you worry, me and my squad of ultimate bad-asses will protect you. Check it out, independently targeting particle-beam phalanx. Whap! You can fry half a city with this puppy. We got tactical smart missiles, phase plasma pulse rifles, and we got sonic electronic ball-breakers! We got nukes, knives, sharp sticks..."

"Maybe you haven't been keeping up on current events but we just got our asses kicked, pal!"

"That's great. That's just fucking great, man! Now what the fuck are we supposed to do? We're in some real pretty shit now man! Game's over man, game's fucking over! What the fuck are we gonna do now? What are we gonna do?"

"Come on! Come and get it! Come on! Let's go, yeah! YEAH! Come on! Come and get it, bastards! Come on, you too! Oh, you want some of this? Take it! Yeah, fuck you!"

"Hey, Vasquez, you ever been mistaken for a man?"

"Stop your grinnin' and drop your linen!"
