Bill Paxton was an iconic actor, who featured in many of our childhood favourite films. For almost the entirety of his acting career he played smaller parts in an array of iconic films, such as playing a ‘solider’ in Stripes, a short-lived punk in The Terminator, an officer in Commando, and an older brother in Weird Science. However, as time progressed, these smaller roles themselves became iconic and legendary in their own right, where Bill’s performances and lines of dialogue were sometimes more fondly remembered than those of the main characters. His iconic line ‘game over man, game over’ from Aliens has been used or referenced in countless films, television shows and in advertising. His role of the slimy and cringe-worthy car salesman who convinces women he is a secret spy in order to sleep with them in the film True Lies was outstanding. However, he will most likely be remembered for his acting prowess in films such as Apollo 13, Titanic and his lead role in the 1996 blockbuster film Twister.
