Game Over

"Frailty", seriously, watch that shit. Really underestimated everyman actor.
ShenDaly
WHY IS EVERYONE FORGETTING THUNDERBIRDS??
Dalumbr
That was the first thing i ever saw him in, didn't click for me who he was until i remembered it
altimatum
Don't forget he stabbed a man with one of his own ribs in agents of S.H.I.E.L.D!
kylania
Me and my friends used to have Bill Paxton movie marathons. Good times.
R0bhimself
Tombstone was such a fantastic movie. Perfect casting
WhitePowerStroke
Only actor to be killed by Predator, an Alien, and Terminator
TheRealFrankTurpentine
Good post. Touching on his greatest roles. 'Ass like a ten year old boy. Pair of titties, make you sit up and beg for buttermilk' - Simon
TylerDurdensHandSoap
I read an article where he said those were things his Dad said when he was a kid and he used them cause he thought they fit Simon to a T.
TheRealFrankTurpentine
It was those lines he was able to pull off with such assholery.
Slayter
I think Near Dark is an extremely underrated movie. I love it.
TheresAGermanWordForThat
I think most movies with vamps as protagonists (i.e. not the Big Bad) suck, Near Dark being a notable exception.
CarwashRoad
I did not know he was in Edge of Tomorrow. Great character, great actor.
iscasaci
Me neither. Makes me wanna watch that movie again, not half bad for a Cruise flick.

What about big love ???
DragonMaster311
Big Love!!!!

For those who know who he was

Don't forget Pass the Ammo (1988)

A Simple Plan was such a great film. Paxton and Thornton were both on top of their game. (Thornton was in Tombstone briefly, as well).
TylerDurdensHandSoap
One of my favorite films. Gary Cole like a BA as well.
ucandcantunc
Why Johnny Tyler.....where you goin with that shotgun?
Grandshift
People who ask who bill Paxton was are not people, they are children.
blargedyblargedy
He was also in Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D..
VoidSz
I loved him in that role
keillrandor
Hydra's healthcare wasn't up to scratch, either...

Greatest role of all time.

"What about their husbands?" "DICKLESS!" "Haha, those idiots..."
PleaseSendMePizzaRolls
I always loved the transition of plot in True Lies around this character. Genius and executed perfectly. I bet that line was ad-libbed!

HOW DID I NOT REALISE THAT WAS BILL PAXTON???

He was great in a lot of movies but I will always favour his role as Simon the car salesman.

Dead at 61. What is that all about?
kittykimmy9
Well age didn't take him, he died of complications during a surgery.
auddan
He was 61 and died
Starbolt81
I loved how up until 'Aliens Vs. Predator' he was the only actor to get killed by an Alien, a Predator and a Terminator. :P

Next thing You know you'll be wearin a bra on your head ..
WhatDoYouMeanIcantStickmyfingerthere2
Pretty sure no one here is asking who he is. There has been consistent posting of his passing for a couple hours now.
ucandcantunc
I was shocked reading the comments of those posts.....apparently there are alot of people who do not know....which is why I made this post..
ClandestineIntestine
I honestly couldn't recall who he was. I recognized the name, but couldn't think of any films of his. So, thanks for the info.
ucandcantunc
Happy to spread his films about. He was one of my favorite actors as a kid.....Definetly want to check out Near Dark and Frailty.....
ucandcantunc
Your Welcome in advance.... :)
WhatDoYouMeanIcantStickmyfingerthere2
They're probably being trolls, with literally hundreds of posts, most being downvoted; dumb comments ensue.
ucandcantunc
Imgur.....truth
Lixaef
I legitimately didn't know who he was because he never stuck out in any of his roles for me.
jarjarbinkswasthebestcharacterinstarwars
I was the same. Seen a lot of these films but he look different in all of them and never really stayed in my mind
FistPumpMyJunk
Well I knew ..but didn't know he died
WhatDoYouMeanIcantStickmyfingerthere2
Was only first reported a few hours ago.
kgiraffe
Frailty was such a great movie, almost completely because of him.
BlueDub
It's a great film. Back on the "to watch" list
Efficency
I fucking love that movie
NM156
P.R. Is my specialty!
ucandcantunc
Great obscure quote......
NM156
Just happy someone else recognizes the quote. :)
ucandcantunc
I am a pretty big fan.....
FatBastardVegetarian
My opinion? He stole the movie "Aliens".
TheDeadlySquid
No doubt! How the hell does somebody not know who he is?
Highfarm
Him and Vasquez are my favorite Aliens characters
WhitePowerStroke
Agreed, he was hilarious in Aliens.
RedPeggy
He had the redemption angle. Went from loud mouthed braggart to quivering coward when shit hits. But then goes down fighting - love him.
CommanderWilliamTRiker
Agreed. Also True Lies
TheMeddlingMonk
Where did he put it?
circlebreaker
Don't forget about the lowkey, super-handsome Michael Biehn. Hubba hubba!
crowpie
Biehn is so underated, can't wait for Neil blomkamps revamp!
RedPeggy
God yes. Forever yes to that.
CamelSpotter
Favorite character. Gets a lot of flak for being a coward, but he stepped the hell up in his final moments.
Heulengeist
I hated that he died, but I loved that, after it looked like he was falling apart, he went out like a bad ass.
crowpie
His character depended on their arsenal of weapons and tech, when the drop ship got fragged he lost his nerve!
McGreed
There was actually talk about making a sequal to Aliens, which was based on him surviving getting taken by the Aliens. Don't see him die.
HtownFreethinker
The problem is that they blew up the place
McGreed
Indiana Jones survived in the fridge, so don't give me that.
Omnimorph2112
In alien: colonial marines, I'm afraid he's dead :( game over man... Pretty much 90% of the best quotes from aliens are Hudson's
dietderpsy
I read a short story where he is held deep in the basement but the nuke doesn't get him.
