We're told the actor died suddenly Saturday due to complications from surgery.

Looks like the SSA is stepping up its cost savings program.

Just when I was getting to like his new TV role. He plays a tough old-school detective on the CBS show Training Day ( Thursday nights).

[RinaseaofDs]

Great as Chet in Weird Science.

Sad to hear. I enjoyed his take on Sam Houston in Texas Rising even if the series was historically and geographically challenged. And I really liked the direction his new show Training Day was taking. Good actor. Know very little about his personal life but RIP.

Paxton was starring in a new TV show; 'Training Day' on CBS was looking very good (into 4 episodes) - SAD. He played a very hard nosed, get it done cop at any expense.

RIP, democRAT or not.

[TomGuy]

Been watching his new TV series, Training Day, which just started about 3 weeks ago.

It has been struggling in the ratings.

Sad news.

RIP.

[Lonely Are The Brave]

Tomorrow is never promised to anyone. Enjoyed your movies. Tombstone stout.

RIP

[Morpheus2009]

Oh yeah, he got killed by the Terminator, killed by the aliens, killed by a Predator, survived the Tornado in whatever that tornado movie was, the Old West shootout. Anything else I missed?

World War III will erupt, the Earth will be clicking hot for a hundred thousand years, rogue asteroids will level what precious little remains of the biome, the oceans will boil away as the magnetic field weakens, the Sun will extinguish its hydrogen and expand into a red giant, devouring her children and finally the cosmos itself will be torn asunder in the Big Rip...

...and Keith Richards will just laugh.

[GSWarrior]

He played a small town sheriff in One False Move, such a good movie. I’ll have to watch it again.

“Under going [sic] anesthesia at any age is dangerous...”

Too true, at least for general anesthesia. My dad (a doctor) used to say that general anesthesia was “killing you just enough”.

I’d just as soon not have seen this story anyway, being 61 and scheduled for abdominal surgery in a couple of weeks.

[Freedom_Is_Not_Free]

Not killed, but turned into a blob in Weird Science

[TomGuy]

He played Randall McCoy in the History Channel mini-series, Hatfields & McCoys.

[ArtDodger]

He was in the Hatfields and McCoys with Costner.

And up until now, starring in a TV series based on the Training Day movie.

[Freedom_Is_Not_Free]

All he had to do is sell his soul to the Devil. No problemo.

[personalaccts]

It was good until they through the man on man crap in he was in tombstone

[dfwgator]

He was in “A Simple Plan”, which was a pretty good movie.

[Nifster]

You will do just fine
