Apparently underwent heart surgery and had post-op complications.

RIP Chet

I remember his Chet character and it was good. I think most people see him as the whiny Pvt. "Game Over, man...GAME OVER...Hudson.

Tombstone and Twister are what I remember him most from.
For me Twister immediately comes to mind when I think of Bill Paxton movies.

I didn't even know that he was Chet until today. Chet has this goofy, Alpha Male, dumb jock expression on his face throughout Weird Science. Therefore even though he's not wearing makeup, Paxton's barely recognizable to me.

Apollo 13. Frailty. He was an underrated actor.

I'm looking forward to Mean Dreams.

My bully cousin patterned his cruel laugh after Chet's laugh. Even used the pork chop served in a dirty ashtray line.

He uses that laugh in public. :lol

There's a bit of Revenge of the Nerds in that laugh as well.

There's a lady who sits in an office next to mine who has that type annoying laugh as well. It's weird hearing that deep laugh coming from a woman.

I think one of his better acting roles was the movie "Frailty".

Holy shit, I didn't realize John Hurt died yesterday until it was mentioned at the Oscars.

Why the F is 2017 picking up where 2016 left off?

People die. Some of which are highly published. Others make the obits for a fee and the rest are acknowledged by only friends and family. It happens every day.
