This is terrible news. I liked his acting in Tombstone, Apollo 13, U-571 and Twister among others.


Rest in Peace Bill.

ohh gz, I watched U-571 about 2-3 months ago and didn't know that he was in there. I had so much fun screaming at the screen 'GAME OVER, MAAAAN!!!" whenever he had a scene Well, guess 2017 continues with a lot of cool artists dying

Dammit, man, so young. Always will remember Bill in his roles in Aliens and True Lies.

Lovely touch by the Storm chasing community there, more than a few of them probably got into it through that film. They did a similar thing on May 31 2014 IIRC, to commemorate a year after Tim Samaras was killed.

Yeah, far too young and some fantastic roles.
