Bill PaxtonHis IMDB page shows he was in a few movies and shows before it but the first movie I remember him in was the Terminator. He had bit parts in several of Arnold's earlier movies. RIP Wheels

Dont think of it as being vastly outnumbered ... but just having a large target selection.
The only thing more accurate than incoming fire, is incoming friendly fire

Oh man, that's rough. I wonder what complications and what kind of surgery? Doesn't seem that long ago he was Chet on Weird Science. He never seemed to age to me. Always likable in his roles, it's nice he was so highly respected by his peers.

Damn just watched Apollo 13 yesterday for the umpteenth time,,I always liked his acting...R.I.P. That's a movie I have never got around to seeing. Perhaps I'll give it a watch now.

He had a way of being such a memorable character in every movie he was in, even if not playing one of the main characters.
RIP and respect.

I thought Weird Science was the first film I had seen him in but checking his IMDB he was in Terminator the year before.

I've seen him in great films and cheesy films and he was always entertaining. He never disappointed. He was deserving of the titles "actor" and "entertainer" and I'm genuinely sad he won't be around anymore.
Haven't seen Training Day, but I thought his stint on Agents of SHIELD was great, he was fun in Two Guns, and I'm delighted he got to participate in the Aliens 30th anniversary events last year.
Truly sad.
