It has been announced that Bill Paxton has died due to complications during surgery. He was 61 years old.
Was he the best actor? No but he was good. And he was in a lot of great movies and a lot of iconic roles.
The earliest movie I remember him from is Weird Science where he played Chet.
The first role most people probably remember is Private Hudson in Aliens.
The list of movies he has substantial roles in that I've seen is long and great:
Twister
Tombstone
True Lies
Apollo 13
The Last Supper
U-571
Trespass
Frailty
Vertical Limit
Mighty Joe Young
Club Dread
Edge of Tomorrow
Nightcrawler
He was in the HBO show Big Love which I never watched but heard good things about.
I really, really liked Bill Paxton and this is really unexpected and sad. My condolences to his family.
