Boy, this one came outta nowhere. Such a shame. Although he had many memorable performances, he'll always be Chet to me.
Godspeed, Bill.

Weird Science is one of my all time favorite movies! I'm very saddened to hear of his passing yesterday... On Blabbermouth, there is a nice message from Mike Muir about Bill. Apparently they knew each other back in the day before either of them found fame and success. He was a great character actor that had an unmistakable face and voice.

Such a bummer. He's been in so many of my favorite movies, from Weird Science to Aliens and on down the line.

I've been so busy the last couple of weeks that I haven't had time to get on here. I was traveling that Monday afternoon when I heard the news. It was beyond devastating. To say that he was in two of my favorite movies of all time in that of "Weird Science" and "Aliens" would be an understatement. My brother and I could quote Bill all day long and usually did when we were out drinking...
R.I.P. Mr. Paxton...

I found an old link titled Roll Recall with Bill Paxton from a couple of years ago, only to find the link dead. The beauty of the internet, they're always still out there somewhere. This was really a fun watch:
