Very sad, such a young age. Who can forget his roles in Twister and True Lies.

I'll have to watch/rewatch Twister as i can't recall, but in True Lies he was incredible - very funny!

You can add, Aliens, Terminator, Edge of tomorrow, U 571, and Titanic to the list, and a host of others I suspect. He always played the supporting roles but did them really well. I'm pretty shocked actually, thought he was going to be around for a long time yet... Very unfortunate.

I've been enjoying his work in the new TV series 'Training Day'.
A great quote from the show: "I'd rather be judged by 12 than carried by 6".
RIP Bill.

The only actor to have died at the hands of the big three: a Predator, an Alien and the Terminator.
RIP Bill

Sadly, as he said in Aliens, "Game over man, game over!" (I have used that line as my message tone for my wife for many years )

An interesting actor for sure.
