Chet or Severen

What performance, then?

"I am the ultimate badass, you do not wanna `*beep*` wit me!"- Hudson in Aliens.

You are all wrong. Billy "The Extreme" Harding of course!!!

Yes. This one. He's not the greatest romantic actor but as a guy caught between his past and his maybe future he walked the role carefully and well.

"IT'S THE EXTREME! IT'S THE EXTREME!" I thought he was great in Twister, hopefully that sequel happens sometime soon and they really make a good follow up.

I won't remember him as any specific "character", although there are plenty to look back to, but mostly, I will remember him as "Bill Paxton", a talented filmmaker, whose career I have been following since I was a teenager, and who is so passionate and perfectionist about making movies as an actor as well as a director like hardly no other person in the business that I know of. Unfortunately, he is very much underrated, but in terms of work ethics, he can certainly keep up with Steven Spielberg or his best friend James Cameron. His full potential is visible when you observe him working as a director.

Whenever he speaks about the movies, he is very much like a kid in a toy store: his eyes sparkle and he can talk for hours, and loves talking about his childhood memories and how he was influenced by so many movies that eventually raised that passion in him. I can very much relate to that.

He is not playing that major Hollywood "game", wears the same outfit more than once on the red carpet, and always comes the way he is, staying true to himself. Very grounded.

It was him, who greatly influenced my path. Being a filmmaker myself, it had always been a wish to work with Paxton. I think, there is a lot that I can learn from him. I hope, I will get this chance one day.

WOW, great post, man!



I think it's awesome that Paxton is still the same guy, very very humble dude. It's almost like Kevin Bacon & Michael Keaton, where they are very humble people and have no ego, you could easily walk up to them and ask them anything and they'd joke back. Two others like that were the two late actors Paul Walker & Michael Clarke Duncan.
