[@Vince6323]

I very much appreciate Bill's ability to tell a story candidly, without the need for theatrics, or convincing displays. He is very matter of fact, and trusts that the truth itself is interesting enough. Bill Paxton, I miss you in Hollywood. Your line in Alien; "Why don't you put her in charge!?" was one of my favorite lines of all time, and I still quote it to this day! That movie is, and will probably always be, an iconic stamp io my life's timeline. Your role in the movie was so underrated, and highlighted the attributes of the other characters so well. To be such a well suited supporting actor is such an underrated position. To be humble enough to not steal scenes, yet still put on a performance that perfectly suites the characters role is such a skill. You have my standing ovation for this movie, and you're character within. I applaud you Bill.

Damn. He was a great actor. To represent an intelligent rational thinking everyman. A reasonable Middle-class American. I miss his presence displayed in "Hollywood" movies and TV series from Terminator, Aliens, True Lies, Tombstone, Big Love, Titanic, Frailty, Apollo 13 and Twister, etc. He is already missed. By me. As a matter of fact, his presence as an American "Everyman" character. Has left an obvious vacuum for similar characters in 21st Century movies. I see him as the best of American actors that are almost a similar age to me. He was 3 ½ years older than me. Given the fact that I am facing the need for a similar double cardiac valve surgery. His death has caused me to truly confront my own mortality.
