It's hard not to think about all of the great roles we missed out on when we tragically lose Bill Paxton awhile back but I was thinking recently... What was his BEST role.
Whether you vote for the most PAXTON performance, his most iconic performance, or the performance you happen to love, there is no wrong answer. Bill Paxton was fucking awesome and I miss him.

on the bright side, it means he really melts into every role I see him in.
I think the quintessential Bill Paxton role might be in Tombstone though—a second banana to the two other leads, putting in a good performance but being upstaged or outshined yet still measurably improving the film the way a supporting actor should
That’s Bill Paxton baby

"Would a spy...PEE HIMSELF?"
Oh yeah he was good in that too.
And handsome.

No that’s Gary Busey, people get them confused all the time
I feel if Gary Busey played his character from DC Cab in predator 2 it would make his motivations made far more sense
Predator 2 also has Busey, but it has Paxton. Its where he gets killed by a predator. The only actor to get killed by a terminator, predator, and alien. A real legend.

You’re going to make me think of a Nick Nolte joke aren’t you
I was scrolling through quickly and my first reaction to this was "Bill Paxton was in The Three Amigos??!??"
(I totally would have believed it)
No Near Dark or Frailty...
::wanders away angrily shaking head and fist::
I remember the show more than the movie, and chet in that was played by Lee Tergesen

I choose to believe that Chet is the same character in his Edge of Tomorrow role
Also that Gary and Wyatt are responsible for the arrival of the aliens
that guy was a mainstay in my youthful movie watching career.
