William Archibald Paxton[1] (May 17, 1955 – February 25, 2017)[2] was an American actor and filmmaker. He appeared in films such as Weird Science (1985), Near Dark (1987), Aliens (1986), Tombstone (1993), True Lies (1994), Apollo 13 (1995), Twister (1996), and Titanic (1997). He also starred in the HBO drama series Big Love (2006–2011), earning three Golden Globe Award nominations during the show's run.[3] He was nominated for a Primetime Emmy Award and a Screen Actors Guild Award for portraying Randall McCoy in the History channel miniseries Hatfields & McCoys (2012) and as Detective Frank Roarke in the CBS television series Training Day (2017).[4][5] His final film appearance was in The Circle (2017), released two months after his death.[6]

Early life

Paxton was born on May 17, 1955 in Fort Worth, Texas, the son of Mary Lou (née Gray) and John Lane Paxton (1920–2011). His father was a businessman, lumber wholesaler, museum executive and, later, during his son's career, an occasional actor, most notably appearing in Sam Raimi's Spider-Man films as Bernard Houseman, as well as alongside Bill in A Simple Plan (1998).[7] Paxton was of English, Scotch-Irish, Scottish, Austrian, German, French, Swiss and Dutch descent, and also had distant Welsh and Norwegian ancestry. His great-great-grandfather was Elisha Franklin Paxton, a brigadier general in the Confederate States Army during the Civil War, who was killed commanding the legendary Stonewall Brigade at the Battle of Chancellorsville. Paxton's mother was Roman Catholic and he and his siblings were raised in her faith.[8] Paxton was in the crowd when President John F. Kennedy emerged from the Hotel Texas in Fort Worth on the morning of his assassination on November 22, 1963. Photographs of an eight-year-old Paxton being lifted above the crowd are on display at the Sixth Floor Museum at Dealey Plaza in Dallas.[9][10] He later co-produced the film Parkland, about the assassination. Paxton is distantly related to actress Sara Paxton and great nephew of Mary Paxton Keeley, prominent journalist and close friend of Bess Wallace Truman.

Paxton graduated from Arlington Heights High School in Fort Worth in 1973, after which he studied at Richmond College in England, alongside his old high school friend Danny Martin. There, they met fellow Texan Tom Huckabee, with whom they made Super 8 short films for which they built their own sets.[11] Paxton subsequently moved to Los Angeles, where he worked in props and art departments, and after being rejected by film schools in southern California, he switched his ambitions from directing to acting.[12]

Career

Paxton at the Dallas International Film Festival, 2010

Among Paxton's earliest roles were a minor role as a punk in The Terminator (1984), a minor role as a bartender in Streets of Fire, a supporting role as the lead protagonist's bullying older brother Chet Donnelly in John Hughes's Weird Science (1985), and Private William Hudson in Aliens (1986).

He directed several short films, including the music video for Barnes & Barnes's novelty song "Fish Heads", which aired during Saturday Night Live's low-rated 1980–81 season and was in heavy rotation during the early days of Canadian music channel MuchMusic. He was cast in a music video for the 1982 Pat Benatar song "Shadows of the Night" in which he appeared as a Nazi radio officer.

Music career

Main article: Martini Ranch

In 1982, Paxton and his friend, Andrew Todd Rosenthal, formed a new wave musical band called Martini Ranch. The band released its only full-length album, Holy Cow, in 1988 on Sire Records.[13] The album was produced by Devo member Bob Casale, and featured guest appearances by two other members of that band.[14] The music video for the band's single "Reach" was directed by James Cameron.[15] In 2018, his performances as Peter "Coconut Pete" Wabash in Broken Lizard's Club Dread were released posthumously on the album Take Another Hit: The Best of Coconut Pete.[16]

1980s

In 1981, Paxton worked in the movie Stripes[17] as a soldier, in the bar scene with John Candy and Bill Murray.[18]

He worked alongside Arnold Schwarzenegger in James Cameron's The Terminator (1984) and in Commando (1985). He reunited with Cameron on Aliens (1986). His performance in the latter film as Private Hudson earned him the Saturn Award for Best Supporting Actor.[19]

He also appeared in Weird Science (1985). In 1987, Paxton played the most psychotic of the vampires, Severen, in Kathryn Bigelow's critically acclaimed neo-Western horror film, Near Dark.

1990s

In 1990, Paxton appeared in Predator 2 (1990). He collaborated with James Cameron again on True Lies (1994) and Titanic (1997), the latter of which was the highest-grossing film of all time at its release. In his other roles, Paxton played Morgan Earp in Tombstone (1993), Fred Haise in Apollo 13 (1995), Bill Harding in Twister (1996), and lead roles in dark dramas such as One False Move (1992) and A Simple Plan (1998). In 1990, he co-starred with Charlie Sheen and Michael Biehn in Navy Seals.

He also appeared in Mighty Joe Young (1998). He was in Indian Summer (1993) filmed in Canada.

2000s–2010s

Paxton in 2014

After 2000, he appeared in U-571 (2000), Vertical Limit (2000), Frailty (2001), Broken Lizard's Club Dread (2004), Thunderbirds (2004), Edge of Tomorrow (2014) and Nightcrawler (2014).

Paxton directed the feature films Frailty (2001), in which he also starred, and The Greatest Game Ever Played (2005).[20] Four years after appearing in Titanic, he joined Cameron on an expedition to the actual Titanic. A film about this trip, Ghosts of the Abyss was released in 2003.[20] He also appeared in the music video for Limp Bizkit's 2003 song "Eat You Alive" as a sheriff. In addition, Paxton also played a character in both Spy Kids 2 and Spy Kids 3-D.

His highest-profile television performances received much positive attention, including his lead role in HBO's Big Love (2006–2011), for which Paxton received three Golden Globe Award nominations. Paxton also received good reviews for his performance in the History Channel's miniseries Hatfields & McCoys (2012), for which he was nominated for an Emmy Award alongside co-star, Kevin Costner.

In 2014, he played the role of the villainous John Garrett in Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D., and a supporting role in Edge of Tomorrow (2014).[20] He starred alongside Jon Bernthal, Rose McGowan and John Malkovich as a playable character in the 2014 video game Call of Duty: Advanced Warfare (downloadable "Exo Zombies" mode).[21] In February 2016, Paxton was cast as Detective Frank Rourke for Training Day, a crime-thriller television series set 15 years after the events of the eponymous 2001 movie; it premiered a year later.[22]

Personal life

Paxton was married to Kelly Rowan in 1979.[23] They divorced a year after their marriage.

In 1987, he married Louise Newbury, whom he first met on the Number 13 bus in London when she was a student.[24] They resided in Los Angeles, with their two children: James (born February 23, 1994), also an actor, and Lydia (born December 19, 1997).[24]

Illness and death

In early 2017, Paxton stated in an interview with Marc Maron on WTF with Marc Maron that he had a damaged aortic heart valve, resulting from rheumatic fever which he contracted at the age of 13.[25] On February 14, Paxton underwent open-heart surgery at Cedars-Sinai Medical Center to repair the damaged valve as well as correct an aortic aneurysm.[26][27] Following the day when he hospitalized with his surgery, he underwent an emergency second surgery to repair a damaged coronary artery.[28] Paxton's condition continued to deteriorate over the following ten days. On February 25, he suffered a fatal stroke and died at the age of 61.[24][29][30][31]

One year after Paxton's death, his family filed a wrongful death lawsuit against Ali Khoynezhad, the surgeon who performed Paxton's operation, alleging that Khoynezhad used "high-risk and unconventional" methods, and that he was not present in the operating room when Paxton began suffering complications, including ventricular dysfunction, tachycardia, and a compromised right coronary artery, which they claim contributed to the coronary artery damage that necessitated a second surgery, and ultimately, led to Paxton's death.[28]

His remains were cremated, and are interred in the Forest Lawn Memorial Park of Hollywood Hills.[32]

Tributes

Upon learning of his death, a number of storm chasers paid tribute to his Twister role by spelling out his initials via the Spotter Network.[33]

On February 26, 2017, while introducing the annual In Memoriam segment at the 89th Academy Awards, which took place the day after Paxton's death, a visibly emotional Jennifer Aniston paid verbal tribute to Paxton.[34]

Book authors also paid tribute, such as Dennis E. Taylor (Bobiverse Series; Book 3 - "For Bill Paxton, who brought a little more humanity to some great SF movies.")

The television show Marvel's Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. paid tribute at the end of the season 4 episode 16 titled "What If..."[35]

Film dedications

The film Call Me by Your Name, released in November 2017, is dedicated to Paxton's memory. Peter Spears, producer of the film, explained that this was because his husband, Brian Swardstrom, who was also Paxton's best friend and agent, visited the set with Paxton during filming and befriended the film's director, Luca Guadagnino, who ultimately decided to dedicate the movie "in loving memory of Bill Paxton".[36] Close friend and frequent collaborator James Cameron wrote a tribute to Paxton in an article for Vanity Fair detailing their 36-year friendship and expressing remorse over the projects they wouldn't be able to make together.[37] Numerous other filmmakers and actors also paid tribute, including Cary Elwes,[38] Patricia Heaton, Gary Sinise, Kevin Bacon, Kyra Sedgwick, Joe Mantegna, Kurt Russell, Goldie Hawn, Kevin Costner, Mary McDonnell, Vincent D'Onofrio, Bill Pullman, James Woods, Michael Douglas, Sigourney Weaver, Tom Cruise, Jake Gyllenhaal, Mark Ruffalo, Joseph Gordon-Levitt, Jamie Foxx, Jeremy Renner, Jonah Hill, Channing Tatum, Chris Evans, Patricia Arquette, Jon Hamm, Chad Michael Murray, Rob Lowe,[39] Leonardo DiCaprio, Kate Winslet, Alyssa Milano, John Krasinski, Emily Blunt, Kate Hudson, Amanda Seyfried, Anne Hathaway, Eliza Dushku, Victor Garber, Sela Ward, Gwyneth Paltrow, Tom Hanks,[40] Rita Wilson-Hanks, Colin Hanks, Charlize Theron,[41] Helen Hunt, Julia Roberts, former California Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger,[42] Sylvester Stallone, Harrison Ford, Terry Crews, Mel Gibson, Danny Glover, Stephen Lang, Michael Shannon, Willem Dafoe, Bruce Willis, J.K. Simmons, Dwayne Johnson, Samuel L. Jackson, Cobie Smulders, Clark Gregg, Billy Bob Thornton, Jeff Goldblum, Karl Urban, Tim Robbins, Will Smith, Tommy Lee Jones, Robert Downey, Jr., Denis Leary, Jane Fonda, Wilmer Valderrama, Michael Biehn,[43] Jordan Peele,[41] William Shatner,[41] George Takei, Ed Harris, Jamie Lee Curtis,[41] and more, as well as his years-long Big Love co-stars Jeanne Tripplehorn, Chloë Sevigny and Ginnifer Goodwin.[41] Sevigny remembered Paxton as:

One of the less cynical, jaded people I've ever met in the business.... He believed in entertainment being transportive and transformative. He believed in the magic of what we can bring to people. That was really a gift that he gave to me.[44]

The 2019 John Travolta film, The Fanatic, was dedicated to Paxton. The film co-starred Paxton's son James.
