Damn! This one hurts a bit. He was one of my favorites as a kid and today.

He was never a huge star but every movie he was in was a bit better because of his presence.

He always seems like the type of guy you could hang out with at a BBQ.

Damn, I'm shocked.

I also wonder what kind of surgery he was having where complications would arise.

That's got to be fucking weird now for CBS since his show Training Day is still airing. There's like 9 episodes left to air.

Very sad to hear this.

Two of his best movies that rarely get mentioned were A Simple Plan and One False Move.

I am fucking devastated. My wife and I have been watching movies where he has been popping up in and I said that I think he's a great fucking actor and will see anything he's in. I love Frailty and his commentary on there is so down to earth.

Fucking shitty.

this one hurts. fucking loved this guy.

I hope this wasn't some bullshit elective surgery that ended up costing him his life. :(

One of only two guys who was ever killed by a Terminator, Alien, and Predator.

RIP Hudson

We're told Paxton underwent heart surgery and had complications post-op and suffered a fatal stroke.
That really fucking sucks.

I just saw Frailty for the first time not too long ago and really liked it. I think I'll have a nice greasy pork sandwich served in a dirty ashtray for lunch today. RIP

"Complications from surgery"?
What does that even mean?
What surgery? What complications?

Anyhoo, I liked him in everything I saw him in - he pretty much elevated all the material he was in.
I especially like him in "Big Love".

"Game over, man", indeed.

Wow. Stunning.

I just watched both True Lies and Apollo 13 in the past few days.

Such a great actor.

4 posts up say it was due to heart surgery. And considering how dangerous heart surgery is...so sad to see him go. He clearly had another 20+ years in him.

Terrible news. He was great in so many movies, not to mention Big Love.
