    Post Veteran Actor Bill Paxton dead at 61

    Bill Paxton, the veteran actor known for his roles in several famous films, is dead at age 61. In a statement, Paxton’s family said he died due to complications from surgery and requested “privacy as they mourn the loss of their adored husband and father.”

    In a film career that spanned over four decades, ranging from major action films to serious drama, Paxton contributed to many of the most culturally iconic films in recent memory.

    His early turns in The Terminator(1984), where he played the punk with the famous blue-haired mohawk, and Aliens(1986), where he played the terrified hothead soldier Hudson, made him a breakout character actor, and by 1987 he was taking on lead roles like the deranged Severen in the classic vampire western Near Dark.

    Paxton was especially a visible Hollywoodpresence during the ‘90s, particularly in major ensemble blockbusters like Tombstone (1993), Apollo 13 (1995), and Titanic (1997) — in which he deftly managed to imbue greedy treasure-hunter Brock Lovett with a surprising amount of charm and wry humor. Paxton was skilled at transforming supporting turns into memorable roles, but could just as easily carry the lead in hit flicks like Twister (1996).

    I liked him as an actor

    The saddest thing is there was no mention of faith in his life

    Yes, I was very surprised. He was only 61. It's always sad when a famous or well liked entertainer dies so young.

    1. Respect one another

    “Therefore all things whatsoever ye would that men should do to you, do ye even so to them: for this is the law and the prophets” (Matt. 7:12). These forums have people from numerous theological backgrounds and beliefs. WE certainly will not agree on everything. Therefore, when engaging in discussion or debate, please address “ideas” rather than personalities. Please do not insult, belittle, or use derogatory remarks towards one another. Keep posts on topic and address the subject rather than the person or their personality. Treat others as you expect to be treated. If you and another poster have a difficult time talking to one another then it is better not to get into a discussion with that person.

    7. Refrain from publicly arguing over staff actions

    While all attempts will be made by staff to be fair in any actions that we must take, we realize that people may not necessarily see such action as fair or reasonable. We ask that you refrain from publicly questioning these actions. You may report all moderators and admin actions to the staff. The staff will discuss among ourselves whether or not the action taken was appropriate. Staff will notify you of our decision.
