RIP Bill Paxton

[kakihara]

Bill Paxton has passed away today at 61 due to a  "complication" during an operation. Ive always liked him as an actor, aliens, the vagrant, twister, weird science etc.

"gameover man" RIP.

I loved him as the crazy rebel vampire in NEAR DARK (1987)

Bill Paxton

I presume it was a complication during a heart operation, for as a child, he had a severe case of scarlet fever that left him bedridden for weeks. While he eventually recovered, so he could get out of bed, the scarlet fever left him with a damaged heart.

Apparently, he got his start in Hollywood, when he starred in and directed the music video for "Fish Heads," which is probably the biggest hit that Billy Mumy's band had.

And as another poster pointed out at another web board, he was apparently the only actor in Hollywood to be killed by . . .
a Terminator
a Predator
and an Alien

R.I.P. Bill. Unfortunately, the bill was due.
