Bill Paxton,Dear Utol (2025): Binyag Episode 43 the versatile and beloved character actor whose presence across dozens of genre films and blockbusters in the '80s and '90s made him a uniquely familiar face, has died, Mashablehas confirmed. He was 61.
Paxton died Saturday, with the cause cited as "complications from surgery" in a statement from his family:
It is with heavy hearts we share the news that Bill Paxton has passed away due to complications from surgery. A loving husband and father, Bill began his career in Hollywood working on films in the art department and went on to have an illustrious career spanning four decades as a beloved and prolific actor and filmmaker. Bill's passion for the arts was felt by all who knew him, and his warmth and tireless energy were undeniable. We ask to please respect the family's wish for privacy as they mourn the loss of their adored husband and father.
Paxton's may not have been the biggest household name in Hollywood, but you could hardly tell that from his credits: Titanic, The Terminator, Apollo 13, Weird Science, Aliens, Big Love, Marvel's Agens of S.H.I.E.L.D. and most recently the TV adaptation of Training Day-- Paxton was one of those guys who seemed to be in everything. Along the way, he earned the distinction as the only actor to be killed onscreen by a Terminator, an Alien and a Predator.
Punks, astronauts, military men, cops, cowboys, bullying older brothers, family men, mercenaries, embattled polygamists ... Paxton played them all with an everyman ease, or an uncomfortable intensity, or whatever was required for the role. His elastic talents stretched across all genres and types, making him one of the busiest working actors of the past four decades.

Paxton was nominated for an Emmy in 2012 for his role in the TV series Hatfields & McCoys, and was part of the Screen Actors Guild Award-winning ensemble for Apollo 13.
Born and raised in Fort Worth, Texas, Paxton was an 8-year-old boy in the crowd when then-President John F. Kennedy left the Hotel Texas on the morning of his assassination; a photo of the boy being hoisted up for a look still hangs in the Sixth Floor Museum in Dallas.
Paxton is survived by his wife of 30 years Louise Newbury and two children, James and Lydia.
