Bill Paxton, 61
IronDioPriest:
Way too young to go. I may be wrong, but I seem to remember hearing that this guy was a rare Hollywood conservative and Christian.

Alphabet Soup:
I commented elsewhere that what I really appreciated about him (beyond his impressive acting skills) was that I had no inkling what his political leanings were. This is how I conduct myself professionally and how I expect others to conduct themselves.
I don't believe that I can think of a role Bill played that I didn't like - even Chet the putz (Weird Science). You were interesting, engaging, and entertaining - what more could an actor ask for?
RIP Mr. Paxton
IronDioPriest:
Scratch my earlier comment. I just have been thinking of someone else. Paxton was an Obama supporter, and raised funds for the Dems. I think I was thinking of Dennis Quaid.
Libertas:
He always played some flakey/off-beat dudes...wish they cast somebody else (anybody else) in Twister beside him...
And while I don't recall him being one of the outspoken libs in Hollyweird I guess not being an ass about it counts for something...but not shocked he is a lib...90% are...
And he sure pushed Judge Wopner off the radar...but 61 is pretty young to go.
But the era of letting libs off just because the expired early is over, they have to answer for their sins.
First, I never watch the Oscars, haven't for decades, besides not giving a rats ass about celebs let alone into the pointlessness of any kind of cult worship...their political BS is not going to receive my attention, things have been bad enough in Fake News Land without having to willingly subject myself to these idiots and their blatherings. But last nights festivities included - announcing the wrong winner for best picture, having a memorial segment for someone still alive, praising open borders while denying the criminal crap it lets in to murder, rape and steal, a disgusting orgy of Trump-bashing, etc etc...
Sorry to hijack the passing of Paxton, but I am starting to not feel very charitable, even to dead leftist celebs...
