Cowboy. Soldier. Astronaut. Cowboy vampire. Space soldier cowboy. We got Bill Paxton bingo! Game over, man, game over. It didn’t matter if he was larger than life or playing someone so average it reminded you of a dude you met at party once, Bill Paxton made all his roles special and undeniably his own. His gift as character actor makes the audience point at the screen, say “hey”’ then forget it’s him the moment he starts speaking. Ultimately we lost him too soon, and here at Blockbuster Film School we will spend the rest of our days catching ourselves thinking, “I wonder when Bill Paxton’s next movie is coming out.”
