R.I.P. Bill Paxton
Died last night from complications from a surgery. Devastating. One of my favorite actors.

Bill Paxton had some great roles. I always thought that he was hilarious in Weird Science.

His movie CV is truly unbelievable, did something for everyone.

The news of his passing at such a young age makes me genuinely very sad indeed.

RIP Bill.

So sad. A wonderful actor.

Check out his movie "A Simple Plan" with Billy Bob Thornton. Brilliant.

RIP.
