Bill Paxton Makes His Only Appearance | Carson Tonight Show

[@nschlaak]

If nobody has said thanks for the clips, I want to say thank you for these clips.

[@Rnyargd]

My brother worked with Bill on a film that was shot in Mexico about 20 years ago. He said that Bill was the sweetest, nicest guy and was a pleasure to work with. R.I.P.

[@LLOOYYYDD]

Really? He was such an a$$hole on Weird Science 😜

[@middle-agedclimber]

He sure looked like a dream "cool uncle".

[@debrahouston2884]

What a Southern sweetheart! Loved him in Tombstone also. RIP, precious one! 💋

[@joebiggs4387]

Bill Paxton. An underrated actor, imo. He died much too young!

[@nomadscavenger]

Never could tell he was so tall, most of his roles were diminutive and a boost for the main character.❤RIP🙏. Arnie loved him, me too (except as an ax wielding "fundamentalist").He's great, Lonnie's great, and all the rest in this show.

[@joebiggs4387]

@@nomadscavenger I thought that “A Simple Plan” was a great movie!! And one of his best performances. I agree, they are all greats.

[@thanks6248]

Yeah, overall he was good, but his acting in twister wasn't so good.

[@debbirbodner5358]

Was a great actor and had a way of entertaining us.

[@DrStephieRaeGrenier]

I fell in love with Bill Paxton in Twister!

[@josephlawson9950]

Game over man in memory of bill Paxton

[@hunter999888]

Someone’s already said it better. But Bill Paxton was one of those actors where if he was in the movie, it was solid Gold. I mean Apollo 13, Tombstone, Twister, True Lies, he was just a sigh of a good movie. Thank you for the clips.

[@bundangkorea]

He was great in Weird Science too

[@Supercell725]

Spot on Hunter, he added big time to every movie he was in

[@theirishgirl6809]

And don't forget Titanic! He was great in it and made the show, I think!😊

[@brentgardner5103]

One of the best! RIP

[@jeanettestone151]

He was a great actor and he was in a lot of my favorite movies. Gone too soon.

[@Hotgarbage100]

Bill should have won the Academy Award for Aliens. After watching the movie all my classmates started acting like him and doing his lines. We laughed our asses off!!!!!

[@terminal-velocity111]

Same here, even to this day we still repeat Bills lines from Aliens. Such a shame he’s gone, way to soon.

[@M167A1]

GAME OVER MAN!

[@Synistercrayon]

Yup. An icon for that time, fer sure

[@marcsmilen6565]

The company gave Ripley a hearing and denied existence of such an Allen. As soon as they lost contact with the terraform colony, Lt gormley called the alien a xenomorph. So how did they have an official name for the alien they just denied ever existing? Ripley should have stayed home and passed on that mission

[@CaesarDarias]

He was great in Aliens. He was so funny. A classic performance in a movie classic.

[@VaniFoxOfficial]

Aliens is one of my favorite movies ever and Bill Paxton is the reason why.

[@RetiredSailor60]

He was such a jerk in Weird Science. Lol.

[@bravesrule384]

Even tho he played a douchbag in it, one of mine is Weird Science with Kelly LeBrock which had came out the year before this appearance on the Tonight Show.

Bill Paxton was such a great actor! As I see mentioned previously here, he most definitely was underrated and never given the full credit he should have been given.. he pulled off a great performance in Titanic and so many other shows period. He most definitely left this Earth way too soon and is so missed and always will be actors like him just aren't around anymore period.😢

[@peoplehavetherights]

Talk about time in a bottle. To see Bill Paxton with long hair and no wrinkles with Carson asking for info, and to see him later during Twister with Helen Hunt, and watch him pass away too young. A sad turn of events for an interesting man. May God Rest His Spul.

[@Goawaydude]

R.I.P Bill Paxton!!! You are truly missed!!

[@karenleemallonee684]

He was so young, what a cutie!

[@tomlichnofsky.7048]

RIP Bill Paxton 😔 RIP Johnny Carson and ED 😔

[@GjpgrD]

My favorite unknown film of Bill's is One False Move, a suspense thriller written by Billy Bob Thornton & also starring Billy Bob & Michael Beach. It is freakin' awesome!

[@pmafterdark]

Bill was so young there. Really good actor. Gone way to soon.

[@vickyabramowitz2885]

As a kid, Bill Paxton was present in Dallas the day JFK was shot. There's a photo of Bill from that day.

[@joebiggs4387]

I didn’t know that!

[@Camop-iz9kt]

He was actually sitting on his dad's shoulders, during JFK's speech in front of the Hotel Texas in Ft. Worth. He's visible in some of the photos that morning.

[@joebiggs4387]

@@Camop-iz9kt WOW! 🤩 What are the odds! That’s an really an incredible thing.

[@troynov1965]

The singer Meatloaf was around during that too, I think the police used him or his friends car.

[@joebiggs4387]

@@troynov1965 That car could be more valuable for that reason. It’s very doubtful that it’s still around though. Very cool info!

[@userLongHairedGIRL]

OK, someone needs to send this to his SON James Paxton right now! He needs to see this because Bill Paxton was his Father and R.I.P. Bill Paxton, you'll always be a legend in our hearts! But if nobody will send it to him, maybe I will.

[@markreeder8509]

He kills every character he plays weather short or long

[@stephengiese7549]

Sounded like a decent guy who wanted to be an actor. Too short a spot on the show. There were times when the last guest is not given enough time. I liked him then and before. Rip

[@user-br3ou2cs9o]

Bill Paxton at 61yrs old in 2017 died of complications of an open heart surgery, perhaps a botched surgery, after which the family sued the doctor and hospital for wrongful death. News reporting excerpt: In February 2022, Paxton's family reached a partial settlement with General Anesthesia Specialists Partnership for $1 million. In August 2022, the case was settled against Cedars-Sinai and Dr. Khoynezhad under undisclosed terms.

[@LambsyLamb]

It's over man! Who put Carson in charge?

[@JazTrance]

What a bizarre comment. It's HIS show.

[@mr.bullionnaire9748]

​@JazTrance that was a line Paxton said in Aliens. Only its "why dont we put her in charge!"

[@MrDuds1984]

Interesting fact about him he mentioned that he grew up in Fort Worth as a boy he was in the crowd the morning Nov 22,1963 seeing JFK hours before he was assassinated in Dallas.

[@sylviahale8382]

Oh goodness he was much too young to leave us What happened Can anyone tell me?? !!

[@Supercell725]

I think he died during a operation, not positive Sylvia

I never noticed, he looks very close to a fusion of Jim Carrey with Tom Cruise. Even the body language is like Carrey.
