| Oh stewardess, I speak jive.  |
I was just looking at his filmography, and there are many to choose from. Chet from Weird Science, the bit part as the anonymous Punk in The Terminator, and you know many of the rest (Tombstone, even Twister, Aliens of course, Big Love, Frailty, True Lies, Apollo 13, A Simple Plan, Edge of Tomorrow, and more...). Any dude who can not take himself too seriously is actually cool, to me. Like his role in True Lies, funny. Or Weird Science... I thought he delivered in Edge of Tomorrow, too. And I enjoyed Big Love (HBO series). I must have ten favorites, myself. You? | ||

One of the few actors whose untimely passing bummed me out. I liked him in everything you mentioned. Twister being a favorite because Bill Paxton finally got a leading role and the movie was released right around the time and I finished USAF 1W031 weather apprentice school. | |||

Some under the radar ones I enjoyed: The Dark Backward, One False Move, a bit part in The Last Supper, and especially, Near Dark! "Finger-Lickin' good!" Any of you guys out there fans of Joe R. Lansdale? He does the Hap & Leonard books — some were adapted for the Sundance TV show now on Netflix. He's really good at answering fan questions online. I asked Joe if he thought the actors on the show were cast well, as I always pictured Leonard as a bigger guy in my head, like Forest Whitaker. He told me if he had to cast the characters, a younger Laurence Fishburne would be his Leonard, and Hap would be his dear departed old pal Bill Paxton. I thought that was interesting. | |||

A Simple Plan. Great movie! End of Earth: 2 Miles Upper Peninsula: 4 Miles | |||

Wait, what? |
A Todd up between Aliens and Edge of Tomorrow. I’d have to take Aliens only because “GAME OVER, MAN!” “Remember to get vaccinated or a vaccinated person might get sick from a virus they got vaccinated against because you’re not vaccinated.” - author unknown | |||

He was perfect as the sleaze ball car salesman “Simon” in True Lies. ______________________________________________ Life is short. It’s shorter with the wrong gun… | |||

you gotta figure his role in Aliens was ICONIC was in the Army in the late 80s - 90s and I cant tell you how many times we quoted his various lines: Game over Man! How do I get out of this Chicken Shit outfit?? Why don't you put HER in charge? We're on an express elevator to hell -- going down ! Hey man -- its a DRY heat ! --------------------------------------------- Proverbs 27:17 - As iron sharpens iron, so one man sharpens another. | |||

He was funny as the used car salesman in True Lies. When he said, “I got a little dick, it’s pathetic” everyone in the theatre laughed. ——————————————— The fool hath said in his heart, There is no God. Psalm 14:1 | |||

Yep. This is exactly What I think of. He was Patrick Swayze’s younger brother in “Next of Kin” and Dane the sniper in “Navy SEALS”. Not comedy roles but still roles I think of him in. | |||

Terminator. But seriously, Not a huge fan of him, but he did do a good job in Aliens and True Lies. He was also pretty good in Apollo 13. | |||

| Go ahead punk, make my day |
Big fan of Bill Paxton, this about covers his greats. | |||

Still finding my way |
Big Love was a great show also but be always be Hicks. Hudson, sir. He's Hicks. | |||

| Oh stewardess, I speak jive. |
Last Supper is a sleeper. I dig it. Is Hap and Leonard good? I'm not familiar with the books. Does Omar do a good job in the show? | |||

Thought he was great as Ran'l McCoy opoosite Costner's Devil Anse Hatfield. I'm gonna vote for the funniest frog with the loudest croak on the highest log. | |||

| So let it be written, so let it be done...  |
As Chet in Weird Science - I loved this movie - saw it a couple of times in the theater when it first came out. But yes, many more too - Aliens, Edge of Tomorrow, Twister... 'veritas non verba magistri' | |||

His last tv series was "Training Day" which was starting to get interesting. | |||

I liked the guy's performances, starting with his really early music videos as a member of "Martini Ranch". | |||
