>I always enjoyed Bill's characterizations in just about everything he did. Dude's sense of humor really came through on screen. imo Best description that someone mentioned today regarding his acting talents. "....his acting skills are talented enough to make a crappy movie still worth watching....no matter what..." And that was meant to be a compliment to Bill's work and acting....not a sarcastic comment. I didn't know both "Bills" (both actors) were involved with the medley "Fish Heads". Paxton did the acting while Mumy co-wrote the Fish Heads medley and sent it in to Dr. Demento. I never knew about that bit of entertainment trivia myself.VIDEO

Killed by an Alien, a Predator, a Terminator, and complications from surgery. RIP Bill.

I will always remember him as the big brother in weird science, the blue haired punk in terminator, and the smarmy crook from pass the ammo. I also enjoyed him recently in Edge of Tomorrow.

Yes, exactly ! He had some great lines in Aliens - played a stand-out / very memorable character. He often did. I remember playing Alien Doom through back around 1994-95 - and it was mostly his quotes that made up the sounds. RIP Bill !
