Goes to show you that eating turnbuckle stuffing is full of fiber and will lead to a long life. Despite his character, held a Master's Degree from Michigan State and was a HS Principal.

Fun fact: Bill Paxton and Lance Henriksen share the distinction of being the only two actors in the world to have been killed on screen by a Terminator, a Predator, and one of Geiger's Xenomorphs (though to be fair it was a Geiger-inspired xenomorph, and Henriksen couldn't actually be killed since he was a synthetic).

Clearly not a fan of any of these iconic sci-fi franchises. :)

I have watched T1 and T2, and Predator 1 but not any of the other ones. Do remember Lance Henriksen that like Paxson, played an Astronaut in the Right Stuff.
You lost me at Xenomorphs!! (No idea on this)

Didn't Paxton play Private Hudson ("We're toast man, TOAST!")? In which case yes we can add Alien to the list.

"Xenomorph" is the name used for the aliens in the film Aliens (appropriate since we're talking about Paxton and Henriksen here).

Xenomorph "XX121", actually. Apparently.

Me, I always preferred the XX119....

Or even the XX1984 (space herpes, anyone?)
