Bill Paxton passed away during hospital surgery. He has been in some blockbuster films during his acting career. The first was, "The Terminator" (1984), "Aliens" (1986), "True Lies" (1994), "Apollo 13" (1995), "Twister" (1996) & 'Titanic" (1997). His lead role in "Twister" brought him international popularity.
Paxton was no slouch when it came to television either. He appeared in "The Atlanta child murders" (1985), "Fresno" (1986), "Big Love" (2006-11), "Hatfields & McCoys" (2102), "Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D" (2014) & his final role in the TV series remake of the movie, "Training Day" (2017).
There have been many good roles in-between. He is from the state of Texas. There was always that southern boy attitude he expresses in each role. As a fan of his work. I admired his small hometown characters the most because he fit into them so well. My favorite is, "A Simple Plan" (1998). Him, his brother and a friend find $4 million dollars inside a small plane that crashed. All three deal with their greed and it leads to murder. Paxton's character, Hank, is the moral center who has to decide what's right and wrong. Even if he has to pull a gun on his own brother.
The independent film, "One False Move" (1992) became a small hit. Even the famous critics, "Siskel and Ebert" praised the film. It ended up on Gene Siskel's top favorite film of that year. Paxton plays Dale, a small town cop who wants to go to the big city and be a detective. When a group of killers come to his town. It is his test to catch them and he experiences a violence he never, ever imagined.
Below is the movie trailers of "A Simple Plan" and "One False Move." Check out these movies because I think they are Bill Paxton's best performances.
