Fans from the 80s knew him as the wisecracking Chet from Weird Science as well as Hudson from the hit movie Aliens. His resume extends to even this day from the ever famous Marvel’s Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. to the new show Training Day.
Variety reported he had “died after complications from surgery. He was 61.”
The family’s representative stated he following:
“It is with heavy hearts we share the news that Bill Paxton has passed away due to complications from surgery. A loving husband and father, Bill began his career in Hollywood working on films in the art department and went on to have an illustrious career spanning four decades as a beloved and prolific actor and filmmaker.
Bill’s passion for the arts was felt by all who knew him, and his warmth and tireless energy were undeniable. We ask to please respect the family’s wish for privacy as they mourn the loss of their adored husband and father.”
Condolences to the family and fans from all over. R.I.P.
