MICHAEL BIEHN Shares Memories With the Late Great BILL PAXTON

I think of Bill often. He was my mother’s brother - my uncle. He was wonderful and my hero. We miss you, Bill. ❤️

[@DVSUte]

I'm very very sorry for your loss, your uncle will always be Super Cool in my memories and I always look forward to 'that' part in Aliens every time. It is and always will be my top 3 moments in movies ever. And gave me the idea for my Ute number plates :)

[@BellofattoBrews]

Sorry for your loss. What I liked about your uncle was he always came across as genuinely a good guy. He was an actor I really enjoyed watching. Gone way to soon.

[@lukethomas1985]

A list supporting actor. One of my faves, if he's in it it's worth watching

[@josepharmillas]

in 2007 and 2008 I worked background on Big Love. My first day on the show, I was standing on set waiting to be told where to stand, when Bill walked up to me, introduced himself and asked if I'd been assigned a spot. I hadn't. He asked for my name and I told him. He called one of the AD's and had me placed on set. A week later i was cast on the show again and I ran into him and he greeted me by my name, which surprised me. Somehow, I ended up working on that show more than ten times and everytime, Bill saw me on set, he remembered my name. I later found out that he took care to know the names on everyone on his sets, including extras. Not only did he always greet me and others as equals, but he always took the time to chat with background actors. A hell of an actor, and a throughly kind and decent human being. I was devastated when I heard of his passing. A class act all the way

Sorry but how can somebody gives such a silly statement at all? I mean... For example... Sharon Tate's death? Didn't affect you more? I mean they killed an eight months pregnant woman and cut the baby out of her. Every death is equally bad for who happens with. So in an objective view nobody gives a s&@#t how you estimate others tragedy in you little subjectivity...

[@scot60]

Bill Paxton was from Fort Worth Texas and we are proud of him. Bless his memory

[@filmania]

One of the best duos in film ever, the Hicks and Hudson dynamic was so real they made you feel their pains and their challenges, you genuinely felt for both characters. That bond in film stayed with them in real life always. Aliens was clearly the immortal memory of the best times and so happy that Michael is alive and well to remember it and Bill. RIP Bill, it will never be game over!

[@darkangel_1978]

I met Michael in 2017, and it was after Bill Paxton and Powers Boothe passed. I told Michael that I was sorry about his two friends passing. We talked about Bill, and the fact that they did 5 movies together, and he named all 5 of them. I told him that I had seen 4 of them and I told him that the only one I didn't see, was Lords of Discipline. We both agreed that Bill was extremely talented and he said how wonderful of a guy that Bill truly was. It was a great conversation, talking about that and other things.

[@filmbuff2777]

It still saddens me he is gone. RIP.

[@dougbodenhamer9391]

Bill Paxton was so good in everything he did! One of my all time favorites, but so is Michael! Both awesome!

[@thedoneeye]

Years ago Conan O'Brien was at some movie premiere and Bill Paxton was there too. Conan asked, "Hey Bill, one of our interns is a big fan of yours can you go over and say 'hi?' Mr. Paxton went over to the intern and Conan saw the intern begin to smile, which got bigger and bigger as Mr. Paxton spoke with him. Turns out the intern's favorite movie was 'Tombstone' and Mr. Paxton recited *all* of his lines to him. Another time I saw him on some other talk show and he showed off a picture of his son who was still a kid at that time. Mr. Paxton was so proud of him! Flash forward to a couple years after his death...I was watching some fan made 'ALIENS' short here on KZbin and in the cast was Mr. Paxton's son all grown up. I actually felt a lump in my throat seeing him and his name in the credits as his dad didn't get to.

[@stevem2323]

Beautiful story, just shows what awesome guys he was. His kid continuing the legacy, that's life. Btw, 80's kids what a privilege.

[@REB4444]

It's interesting that I didn't know Bill Paxton except for in the movies. He was the first actor where I was actually bummed to hear he had passed away. No matter what movie he was in, no matter how small the role, he always stole some scenes and was memorable. Whether it was Chet in Weird Science or Hudson in Aliens or the used car salesman in True Lies, he always made you laugh. I can't imagine how Michael took the loss having been personal friends with him.

[@spookrockcity]

Hearing Michael laugh so hard is great. You can see how much life flows into Michael when he brings up Bill.

[@NS6677]

Literally the last line here "I miss him". It gets to you..

[@r12e5p]

Lords of Discipline was a great movie! Michael B played a great heavy, and David Keith was so good in the lead. Super underrated and should be more remembered today.

[@terrycharnley]

Yes, I have a copy of The Lords of Discipline on dvd, don't think it's available on blu ray, but should be. I made a massive mistake with it once. It showed late on Ch4 one night and I missed the beginning so didn't bother videotaping it and when it finished, I knew I'd screwed up. Then it showed again one day and I recorded it. Such a great movie and based on a book which I am tempted even now to read. Agree too that The Lords of Discipline is another massively underrated movie. It was also the first time I had seen Michael Biehn play a villian and I hated him! I wanted to hit him! Haha. David Keith was also excellent.

[@SparkyWaxAll]

I was a cadet when they were filming in Charleston. Not allowed to film on Citadel campus, but invited to watch my hell night and tour the campus and take some of my freshman (knob) to dinner and ask em questions. It was all fascinating to me. *when film came out my junior year, my parents in DC freaked out watching it in theater 😄

[@olivierdube809]

As a fan of Paxton, it's always nice to hear behind-the-scenes stories about him. The movie "Frailty" was quite good. His acting in Aliens was so different from anything I had seen with him (I watched Aliens as an adult who understood a lot more about acting and movies than as a child). Michael's candor is most welcome; a bit like Robert Patrick. This show is the best place for stories about acting and movies. The honesty is refreshing.

[@lunaticfringe6282]

Frailty is a brilliant movie.

[@Lalaxbo]

Michael Biehn is such an amazing actor and i loved his Kyle Reese performance in The Terminator and his dream cameo in Terminator 2 Judgment Day. He was a badass as Corporal Hicks in Aliens and his crazy performance as Lt Coffey in The Abyss . He was cool as Johnny Ringo in Tombstone . He did an amazing guest star performance in The Mandalorian and i was really surprised 😯. I miss Bill Paxton 😢. RIP Bill Paxton .

Bill & Michael also worked together (sort of) in the original Terminator. I say sort of because they didn't appear together.

Such a shame that Biehn didn't get a re-up in the 2000's like so many of his peers - you can argue that roles like Terminator/Aliens aren't exactly high art, but he totally inhabited those characters, and is arguably a better actor than many of those that did go on to a second round of stardom. His unhinged intensity and intelligence comes burning through as Ringo in Tombstone, the perfect foil to the quiet madness of Kilmer's Doc Holliday.

[@PhilAndersonOutside]

He had a serious problem with alcohol during that time and it almost killed him. Cameron also said Michael was a very talented actor from a fairly small town in Alabama, and never adapted to the Hollywood scene at all.

I had the exact same heart condition as Michael Biehn, born with a malformed heart valve. The problem is that it doesn't open and close properly, and so it begins to calcify, but typically, it doesn't start to really affect you until you're in your 50s. Mine was diagnosed when I was 48 when I had only very minor symptoms, but my heart surgeon said it was the worst he had ever seen -- he described it as looking like a boulder because it was so badly calcified. He was amazed I was even alive, let alone that I barely had any symptoms. Four years after surgery, and I'm doing great.
