I just read this and was stunned. A great actor and one of my heroes of my teenage years for some of his roles. He also directed an amazing movie called Frailty, and I was always hoping he was going to direct again on the strength of that movie. Great actor, great director, RIP.

Also, it occured to me that he has been killed by the trifecta of 80's action movie monsters. He was killed by the predator, the terminator, and the alien. lucky bastard!

I just read a twitter comment that he was one of two actors who have been killed by the alien, predator and terminator. It took me a moment to think of the other guy.. and then it occurred to me.. Lance Henrickson!

Just can't believe that one. Sad that it was surgery related. RIP Bill. One of my favorite actors.

I watched Frailty again last night. His performance and direction were excellent.

I'm hoping to hear what the surgery was and the ensuing complications.

Heart surgery and he had a stroke after, which they are saying was related to complications from the surgery.
