    Training Day was fun to watch because of him, love that show. If I were to have been an actor, his career would have been the one I would have wanted.
    He will be missed.

    RIP.

    Bill had so many iconic roles, but in my mind he'll always be Private Hudson in Aliens!

    He apparently is the only actor to have been killed by a Terminator, Alien and Predator.

    RIP Bill!
    No excuses!

    RIP Bill

    He was one of my Favorite. during the filming of "Near Dark" when he was in makeup and all burned up looking, a train had stop close by so he walk up to the Caboose and asked for help. On The making of Video he and Lance talked about all the crazy stuff they did.

    I love the Movie "Frailty" that he wrote produce & Directed and even starred in. If you haven't seen it you need to.

    He was awesome. Twister and Weird Science was 2 of my favorites. Titanic was pretty damn good to. He played a really cool role.

    RIP

    Big Love was a great series IMO...NPR replayed a interview with him recently with Terry Gross, who I despise BTW, but he sounded like a cool, down to earth guy.
