Game over man!!

RIP Bill Paxton, one of my favourite 'journeymen' actors.



Your sleazy cheesy film roles were pure entertainment, and I mean that in a happy positive way.

As Hudson in my favourite film of all time - Aliens, I always wanted him to survive or, at least go out with a bang rather than become an alien incubator. Plus how can we forget your sleazy car salesman from True Lies? "I'm naval liiinnnt...!", brilliant! And as the obnoxious big brother in Weird Science: "How about a greazzy pork sandwich... served in an ashtray!" Each of those roles defined your on-screen characters and because of them I was never able to see you as the strong, reserved, silent type.

My thoughts are with the family, the world has lost a great guy.
