Bill Paxton Has Died Due to Complications From Surgery

On Sunday, his family issued a statement to notify about his death.

Paxton’s death makes the already unlikely renewal virtually impossible. What is your favorite Bill Paxton movie? He was more alive than the others.

Commenting on the tribute, one sympathiser said: “Thoughts and prayers go out to you and all those whose lives he touched”.

Most recently, Paxton played the lead in the television spin-off of the film Training Day.

Paxton, a Texas native, got his start in films in the art department on Roger Corman movies in the ’70s before getting a chance to go in front of the camera.

From 2006 to 2011, he played Bill Henrickson, the patriarch of a polygamist family in Utah, on the HBO series Big Love.

Storm chasers across Kansas, Oklahoma and Texas memorialized Bill Paxton by logging their locations on a Global Positioning System map to form the Twister actor’s initials, “BP”. Training Day was not expected to be renewed and Paxton’s untimely passing makes a second season now increasingly unlikely.

He leaves behind two children and his wife of 30 years, Louise Newbury.

As reported by Gizmodo, hundreds of storm chasers in the midwest gathered together and used Global Positioning System pings to make a tribute for Paxton. The effort was to honor the leading man in the disaster movie “Twister”, which inspired a generation of storm chasers.

In the course of his career, Paxton faced three of science fiction’s most famous villains. That role would catapult him to a much higher profile, one that he would parlay into a major role in Kathryn Bigelow’s vampire classic Near Dark.

The actor, who starred in such mega Hollywood hits as Titanic and Twitter, was only 61-years-old. Remembering stories is still making me laugh. “I feel lucky to have called him my friend”. Paxton’s son, James, is also an actor. A childhood neighbor was the artist Thomas Hart Benton.

Debra Messing So tragic the passing of Bill Paxton.

Helen Hunt, who was his co-star in “Twister” said that Paxton was a very talented man who acted his heart out. Thank you, Bill, for being such a good TV dad to me and spreading love on every set you work on.
