BILL PAXTON

He is one of the industry’s most prolific actors, receiving movie and TV credits totaling over a hundred throughout his career. These aren’t just small scale productions as well—Bill Paxton has starred in plenty of blockbusters, including cult favorites such as The Terminator, Aliens, Vertical Limit, Edge of Tomorrow, Titanic, and Apollo 13. He is likely a familiar figure for audiences who grew up during the ‘90s and early 2000s. His outstanding performances earned him multiple recognitions and nominations including Golden Globe Award, Prime Time Emmy Award, and Screen Actors Guild Award.

Sadly, he had problems with heart health and had to undergo aorta surgery back in 2017. The operation caused complications and Bill suffered a stroke before passing away back in 2017. Due to his remarkable contribution to the film industry, he received numerous tributes including an emotional message from Jennifer Aniston. Several storm chasers also spelled his initials through the Spotter Network to give thanks for his movie Twister.
