Always liked him. Solid family man. Sad to lose him.

Quote:American actor and director Bill Paxton died unexpectedly Saturday due to surgical complications, his family said in a statement Sunday.

He was 61.

“It is with heavy hearts we share the news that Bill Paxton has passed away due to complications from surgery,” read a statement shared by a representative of the family.

“A loving husband and father, Bill began his career in Hollywood working on films in the art department and went on to have an illustrious career spanning four decades as a beloved and prolific actor and filmmaker. Bill’s passion for the arts was felt by all who knew him, and his warmth and tireless energy were undeniable. We ask to please respect the family’s wish for privacy as they mourn the loss of their adored husband and father.”

I was fascinated by tornadoes as a kid, and have probably seen Twister 100 times.

RIP

Second Alien franchise star that died this year with John Hurt as the other one. Bad day today as well when you also lose Judge Wapner from the People's Court who died as well.

Big Love was terrific. His best performance might be Hatfield s and McCoys

Yep. It's the first thing I told my wife when we found out.

RIP Bill. Thanks for entertaining me over the years.

Storm chasers' tribute.

I wonder if anyone mentions him at the Oscars tonight? They might all be too busy putting down Trump instead.

Actually he does get into a commercial (odd timing but I'm sure it's a commercial that has aired before) as Timex had a commercial with clips in movies featuring their watches - and one of the clips was from Apollo 13 I believe.

RIP.

One of only two actors killed by the Terminator, Predator, and Alien.
