[QueenOfGoths]

That is sad news

 

[Ax^]

good actor

 

[Santino]

RIP Bill Pullman

 

[CrabbedOne]

Not a bad director either.

 

[CrabbedOne]

And a memorable vampire.

 

[8den]

Game over man, game over.

RIP.

 

[May Kasahara]

I am gutted He really was excellent.

 

[mwgdrwg]

RIP.



He played such a great vampire in Near Dark, one that was cool and everyone loved to hate!

 

[T & P]

That's very sad

 

[krtek a houby]

Liked him in One False Mover and of course, Aliens. Was a pretty good baddie in Agents of Shield. Damnit.

 

[starfish]

Thats shite. Great actor. So many great roles.

 

[T & P]

Not many people can claim to have been killed by an alien, predator and terminator.

 

[DexterTCN]

RIP.

I hate it when they ain't been shaved!

 

[Orang Utan]

He was great in One False Move.
His best role is probably as the chickenshit womanising car dealer in True Lies

 

[DaveCinzano]

A Hollywood dude who never seemed like a douche, who put in the work and left us with plenty of memorable turns - gone too soon, but never forgotten

Only him and Lance Henrikson, I think

 

[souljacker]

RIP Bill

JIM JEFFERIES JUST STOLE YOUR JOKE

 

[Sprocket.]

Brilliant character actor, 61 is way too young. RIP.

 

[DexterTCN]

Henrikson wasn't killed by the Alien queen.

The Day Bill Paxton Saw John F. Kennedy

 

[TheHoodedClaw]

Henrikson wasn't killed by the Alien queen.

Pretty damn contributory though! Mind you, it's not clear that Bill Paxton actually gets killed by the Terminator.

 

[Nanker Phelge]

Haven't seen weird science forever, but that's where I first saw him.

Always a good value actor. Shame to see him go down.

 

[DexterTCN]

Watched Near Dark again today with one of my daughters.

He hams it up wonderfully as a sadistic vampire. (Great Tangerine Dream soundtrack too...swings between The Thing and BladeRunner.)

 

[DexterTCN]

Did you know....Homer's dad in real life is Jason Miller, and Michael from The Lost Boys, which came out in the same year...is also Jason Miller!

People who haven’t watched S2 ep 5 of the Mandalorian look away now (even though it really isn’t much of an earth-shattering spoiler), but it just occurred to me that while Paxton will likely forever remain as the only man to have been killed by a xenomorph, a Predator and a Terminator, Michael Biehn is as of yesterday the only one to have been killed by a xenomorph, a Terminator, and a Star Wars character.

Jenette Goldstein (aka Private Vasquez in Aliens) has been killed by a xenomorph and a Terminator so no far from a ‘3 Club’ herself. She has apparently appeared in one of the Star Trek Discovery shorts so for all I know she’s already in the club- don’t know if she was killed in it.]

Jenette Goldstein got killed by a xenomorph, a Terminator and the Titanic.

Not sure the Bill Paxton thread is a great place for a Mandalorian spoiler, as I'm avoiding that thread for that very reason and it has nothing to do with Paxton.

I’ll put a spoiler now. I thought of Paxton yesterday when I saw the other actor scoring another legacy sci-fi demise.
