The way Bill Paxton delivers his lines, AFTER he overhears the two city cops making fun of him? In ONE FALSE MOVE? Genius. Heartbreaking.

Rest in power my dear friend, a fearless actor, director, artist. They don't make em like they used to, a true original.

Marvel made an official statement on its Twitter page.
Jamie Lee Curtis calls her True Lies co-star a "funny, talented, loving human."
James Cameron, who directed Paxton in The Terminator, Aliens, True lies and Titanic, shared his thoughts with Vanity Fair. You can read his email to the publication below.
"I've been reeling from this for the past half hour, trying to wrap my mind and heart around it. Bill leaves such a void. He and I were close friends for 36 years, since we met on the set of a Roger Corman ultra-low budget movie. He came in to work on set, and I slapped a paint brush in his hand and pointed to a wall, saying "Paint that!" We quickly recognized the creative spark in each other and became fast friends. What followed was 36 years of making films together, helping develop each others' projects, going on scuba diving trips together, watching each others kids growing up, even diving the Titanic wreck together in Russian subs. It was a friendship of laughter, adventure, love of cinema, and mutual respect. Bill wrote beautiful heartfelt and thoughtful letters, an anachronism in this age of digital shorthand. He took good care of his relationships with people, always caring and present for others. He was a good man, a great actor, and a creative dynamo. I hope that amid the gaudy din of Oscar night, people will take a moment to remember this wonderful man, not just for all the hours of joy he brought to us with his vivid screen presence, but for the great human that he was. The world is a lesser place for his passing, and I will profoundly miss him."
