His work on his new show training Day was awesome, the show was getting better every week.
R.I.P. Mr Paxton

Gutted about this one man.... He was in so many of my favorite movies. Let's hope he's on an express elevator going up.

Damn... I was floored when I read about this yesterday... He is one of my all time favorite actors... Tosk said it right.. He may have been in some questionable movies, but he always brought it.. wonder how many people remember Fish Heads and Martini Ranch.. I actually have some of their music... Nice retrospective on Yahoo...

RIP.
my favorite Paxon character was the one from Aliens.
What do you mean "they cut the power"? How could they cut the power, man?! They're animals

Unfortunately, the penultimate line he had from that film (for me) - is also (and unfortunately) rather accurate for this situation:

"Game over, man...Gave over!"

And yeah, as someone who's turning 54 this year - WAY too early, and sorry to hear he had a heart condition that required surgery that lead to this.

RIP.

IGN has a collection of Tweets from his friends and co-stars reacting to his death, and a longer piece form James Cameron.

I was floored when I heard this. So many great movies that I can watch over and over. True Lies, Twister, his characters have been taken out by an Alien, a Predator AND a Terminator (the only other person to hold that honor is Lance Henriksen) There was never a performance of his that I was disappointed in.

But, he'll always be Private Hudson to me

Turned every role he had no matter how big or small into something iconic. Always a pleasure to watch him. His character's death in Agents of Shield was one of the show's only disappointments in it's first few seasons. Too young. RIP

Still sinking in...always top notch. Aliens, Apollo 13, Twister, Tombstone...on and on. He was in some of my favorites.
