Danny Bonaduce not facing charges for throwing Jonny Fairplay into a stage; Bill Paxton and Fred Durst are friends?; Kyra Sedgwick's pictures are worth more than three dollars; Mark McGrath has a message for TMZ's own Max; and Gary Busey speaks out on love, friendship, and the devil.

Bill is the first actor whose character has been killed by an Alien (as Private Hudson in Aliens), a Predator (as Jerry Lambert in Predator 2), and a Terminator (as the punk leader in The Terminator). (edit) Aside from being an actor, Bill has worked as an art director and set dresser for the film Beach Blanket Bango as Pete Lautrec in 1975 and as a unit manager for Bajadros de narcos in 1998. (edit) In 2003, Paxton won the Filmmaker's Showcase Award from the Academy of Science Fiction, Fantasy & Horror Films. He also won a Saturn Award for Best Supporting Actor for Aliens in 1987. (edit) Bill performed for the film soundtracks of Tombstone (1993), The Evening Star (1996), and Club Dread (2004). (edit) Paxton made his feature film directorial debut with Frailty in 2001. He also starred in the film opposite Matthew McConaughey. (edit)

Bill Paxton: When I got into film making I don't know whether I was a fortune seeker or seeker of fame, I loved the idea of making movies and telling stories. I chose it as something I wanted to do and what sustains me is the work, not the money. (edit) Bill Paxton: I've seen so many actors who reach a certain prominence, and then they do a couple of films that don't get accepted by the public or are critically panned and the next thing you know, they're out the door. It's really sad, and you kind of have to project yourself; you've got to guide your own career. In the old days the studios guided your career. Now it's all up to you. (edit) Bill Paxton: I've always loved movies about con men. I think con men are as American as apple pie. (edit) Bill Paxton: My heroes have always been guys like Keaton, Chaplin, Clint Eastwood who figured out how to empower themselves. (edit) (on making huge films)
Bill Paxton: I think what I'm looking for are timeless themes... If you can find timeless themes you can make movies that are as relevant now as they will be in a thousand years. Size is irrelevant. (edit)
