MICHAEL BIEHN Shares Memories With the Late Great BILL PAXTON #insideofyou #billpaxton - Розваги
I think of Bill often. He was my mother’s brother - my uncle. He was wonderful and my hero. We miss you, Bill. ❤️
I'm very very sorry for your loss, your uncle will always be Super Cool in my memories and I always look forward to 'that' part in Aliens every time.
It is and always will be my top 3 moments in movies ever.
And gave me the idea for my Ute number plates :)
Sorry for your loss. What I liked about your uncle was he always came across as genuinely a good guy. He was an actor I really enjoyed watching. Gone way to soon.
Bill truly rocked and still does to fans ❤
I often think of Bill, a brilliant actor, and much missed by his fans.
A list supporting actor. One of my faves, if he's in it it's worth watching
Bill playing the car salesman in True Lies always kills me. So funny
Because it’s you…
"Fear is not an option."
Don't forget as the waiter in the end scene!😂😂😂
@Mike Hughes his "Oh god..." as he pees himself and runs away from Helen, has me and my mom cracking up!! 😂
It's laugh out loud funny
in 2007 and 2008 I worked background on Big Love. My first day on the show, I was standing on set waiting to be told where to stand, when Bill walked up to me, introduced himself and asked if I'd been assigned a spot. I hadn't. He asked for my name and I told him. He called one of the AD's and had me placed on set. A week later i was cast on the show again and I ran into him and he greeted me by my name, which surprised me. Somehow, I ended up working on that show more than ten times and everytime, Bill saw me on set, he remembered my name. I later found out that he took care to know the names on everyone on his sets, including extras. Not only did he always greet me and others as equals, but he always took the time to chat with background actors. A hell of an actor, and a throughly kind and decent human being. I was devastated when I heard of his passing. A class act all the way
Michael Biehn talking about Bill Paxton. Two of the most underrated character actors of our time. Love those guys!
Biehn was spectacular as Johnny Ringo
Check out far cry 3 blood dragon, Michael is main character
I could listen to Michael’s stories all week. Bill Paxton is sorely missed.
Both icons and huge part of my childhood
As an 80's kid, I grew up with Micheal and Bill's movies. ALIENS🥚was a favorite between my Dad and I. I remember saying, Bill Paxton was the only actor to be killed by the Terminator, an Alien & a Predator. He was a one of a kind. 💯
@One Issue Voter I don’t think Lance was in a Terminator movie, was he?
@@robpolaris5002 Yeah, he was. His character was with Paul Winfield most of the time at the police station.
@@robpolaris5002Not only was he in The Terminator, he was originally slated to BE the terminator until Orion demanded a bigger name. He plays Lt Vukovic in The Terminator (Traxler’s right hand man).
@@KRS2000 OH! I remember now. He was one of the two cops talking to Sarah Conner.
@@robpolaris5002 Yep. That's the guy.
He was the one who tried telling a couple of stories but was quickly cut off both times by Lt. Traxler.
Years ago Conan O'Brien was at some movie premiere and Bill Paxton was there too. Conan asked, "Hey Bill, one of our interns is a big fan of yours can you go over and say 'hi?' Mr. Paxton went over to the intern and Conan saw the intern begin to smile, which got bigger and bigger as Mr. Paxton spoke with him. Turns out the intern's favorite movie was 'Tombstone' and Mr. Paxton recited *all* of his lines to him.
Another time I saw him on some other talk show and he showed off a picture of his son who was still a kid at that time. Mr. Paxton was so proud of him!
Flash forward to a couple years after his death...I was watching some fan made 'ALIENS' short here on UA-cam and in the cast was Mr. Paxton's son all grown up. I actually felt a lump in my throat seeing him and his name in the credits as his dad didn't get to.
Beautiful story, just shows what awesome guys he was. His kid continuing the legacy, that's life.
Btw, 80's kids what a privilege.
You can hear how Bill Paxton's passing has affected Michael.
Plus, throughout his career, both of them really, you would have never known they had health issues...
Both Michael and Bill, plus you, Michael Rosenbaum, are the Epitome of "Working Actors".
Thank you for this.
I put my hamster in a sock and slammed it against the furniture.
@@TippyHippy mmmm dinner is ready….
@TippyHippy that is what losers do 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
We all miss Bill Paxton. He was a phenomenal actor and a great all-around human being.
Ok who didn’t love Bill Paxton in aliens 😊😂
""Somebody said "alien" she thought they said "illegal alien.""🤣
Hey Vasquez, have you ever been mistaken for a man?
No, have you?
Game over man. Game over!
@@roughrider6129 🤣🤣🤣
he was cool in Navy Seals too
I was lucky enough to know Bill Paxton, he was as amazing a person off camera as he was an actor and director. Ironically, I was always a fan of Michael Biehn and I asked Bill once what Michael was like. The respect and love was mutual for sure.
Bill Paxton was so good in everything he did! One of my all time favorites, but so is Michael! Both awesome!
One of the best duos in film ever, the Hicks and Hudson dynamic was so real they made you feel their pains and their challenges, you genuinely felt for both characters. That bond in film stayed with them in real life always. Aliens was clearly the immortal memory of the best times and so happy that Michael is alive and well to remember it and Bill. RIP Bill, it will never be game over!
Yeah...Bishop should go...good idea
I loved the dynamic of the entire marine squad. Hudsons theatrics are iconic.
@@christianc.2664believe me, I'd rather not. I may be synthetic, but I'm not stupid.
It still saddens me he is gone. RIP.
Literally the last line here "I miss him". It gets to you..
It's interesting that I didn't know Bill Paxton except for in the movies. He was the first actor where I was actually bummed to hear he had passed away. No matter what movie he was in, no matter how small the role, he always stole some scenes and was memorable. Whether it was Chet in Weird Science or Hudson in Aliens or the used car salesman in True Lies, he always made you laugh. I can't imagine how Michael took the loss having been personal friends with him.
I met Michael in 2017, and it was after Bill Paxton and Powers Boothe passed. I told Michael that I was sorry about his two friends passing. We talked about Bill, and the fact that they did 5 movies together, and he named all 5 of them. I told him that I had seen 4 of them and I told him that the only one I didn't see, was Lords of Discipline. We both agreed that Bill was extremely talented and he said how wonderful of a guy that Bill truly was. It was a great conversation, talking about that and other things.
Bill Paxton was from Fort Worth Texas and we are proud of him. Bless his memory
Of all the celebrity deaths Bill Paxton's affected me the most. He was such a talented actor and beautiful person.
Loved him as an actor and human.
Hearing Michael laugh so hard is great. You can see how much life flows into Michael when he brings up Bill.
"Game over man.... Game Over" what a line
Lords of Discipline was a great movie! Michael B played a great heavy, and David Keith was so good in the lead. Super underrated and should be more remembered today.
Yes, I have a copy of The Lords of Discipline on dvd, don't think it's available on blu ray, but should be. I made a massive mistake with it once. It showed late on Ch4 one night and I missed the beginning so didn't bother videotaping it and when it finished, I knew I'd screwed up. Then it showed again one day and I recorded it. Such a great movie and based on a book which I am tempted even now to read. Agree too that The Lords of Discipline is another massively underrated movie. It was also the first time I had seen Michael Biehn play a villian and I hated him! I wanted to hit him! Haha. David Keith was also excellent.
I was a cadet when they were filming in Charleston. Not allowed to film on Citadel campus, but invited to watch my hell night and tour the campus and take some of my freshman (knob) to dinner and ask em questions. It was all fascinating to me. *when film came out my junior year, my parents in DC freaked out watching it in theater 😄
William Hope, Lieutenant Gorman from Aliens was in it too.
As a fan of Paxton, it's always nice to hear behind-the-scenes stories about him. The movie "Frailty" was quite good. His acting in Aliens was so different from anything I had seen with him (I watched Aliens as an adult who understood a lot more about acting and movies than as a child). Michael's candor is most welcome; a bit like Robert Patrick. This show is the best place for stories about acting and movies. The honesty is refreshing.
Frailty is a brilliant movie.
I used to even watch that Training Day TV show just to see The Glorious '80s Bill Paxton Character back on the screen again. Gone way too soon. What a talent.
Me too
I miss Bill Paxton and he’s one of my favorite actors of all time. True Lies, Trespass, Aliens, Weird Science, Predator 2, and Frailty are my favorite bill Paxton performances!
Great list!
Terminator and Twister
Michael Biehn is such an amazing actor and i loved his Kyle Reese performance in The Terminator and his dream cameo in Terminator 2 Judgment Day. He was a badass as Corporal Hicks in Aliens and his crazy performance as Lt Coffey in The Abyss . He was cool as Johnny Ringo in Tombstone . He did an amazing guest star performance in The Mandalorian and i was really surprised 😯.
I miss Bill Paxton 😢. RIP Bill Paxton .
The Abyss! That was a great Biehn performance. I'm sure you've seen the Abyss Extended edition (but if you havent...).
@@Menleah Yes i have watched the Extended Cut and it was awesome.
Paxton and Biehn were two guys I loved seeing in movies.
What a nice story to hear about their friendship together. Bill Paxton is the most famous actor I have met and there have been a couple of others, but Bill was such a nice guy, down to earth and funny, he just made you feel like you were one of his friends! 😅. RIP Bill...
Bill & Michael also worked together (sort of) in the original Terminator. I say sort of because they didn't appear together. Bill had a very small but important role early in the film - he was one of those three punks at the Griffith Observatory when the still naked Arnold approached them and wanting their clothes.
I'm sure Terminator's part of the 5 films he mentioned.
@@jaylucien669 That was for those who perhaps weren't aware of Paxton's role in the film.
Why was his role important ? Comes across ur romancing the truth because it’s Bill
@@Whatwhatwhat1135 The scene set the initial tone as to how relentless and indestructible the Terminator would be thruout the movie. And he was the most vocal of those three. Quit overthinking this.
@@clubmogambo3214 dude ur romancing the truth it’s not important as u like to claim. People do what ur doing all the time because u feel I have to because the person has died. Take ur own advise and QUIT overthinking this because it’s not that important a scene
It saddens me that Bill Paxton is no longer with us. He had so many more years and fine performances in him.
We all miss him too bro, Hicks and Hudson, brothers for life.
I worked with Bill Paxton, and although I never interacted with him directly, word from the crew is that he was ''insane''. I've also worked with Michael Biehn, even had a little chat with him one time, he was very kind and very humble.
My cousin works in the film industry and was fortunate enough to work on the set of the TV series Training Day with Bill Paxton. He said, because Bill started as a Set Dresser, he'd always compliment how great the set looked. Bill was very personable and would talk to the crew and learn their names. My cousin isn't a star struck person but he was quite impressed by how down to earth Bill was. RIP
Bill Paxton as Chet in WeirdScience '85 was my first intro to him... great actor!! (RIP)
Aye, i remember watching it at the Cinema when it came out, the classic "Greasy Sausage served up in a dirty ashtray" quote made us all gag and still does to this day!
If you've never watched Bill Paxton's performance in Near Dark, you should because it's absolutely fantastic.
I met Bill Paxton at London comic con and he was really nice. One of the nicest actors I have met.
Bill's death hit me pretty hard! His movies were tied to my childhood so I will watch anything he is in, because he's in it.
“ You don’t steal the American dream, you earn it “. A great line from Bill in the movie “ A Simple Plan. “
Another truly outstanding movie. Very good writing and perfectly developed characters.
I loved Bill Paxton so many times have I used the line it’s game over man in unfortunate situations and I think about him now every time I say it
Ditto.x
Such a shame that Biehn didn't get a re-up in the 2000's like so many of his peers - you can argue that roles like Terminator/Aliens aren't exactly high art, but he totally inhabited those characters, and is arguably a better actor than many of those that did go on to a second round of stardom. His unhinged intensity and intelligence comes burning through as Ringo in Tombstone, the perfect foil to the quiet madness of Kilmer's Doc Holliday.
He had a serious problem with alcohol during that time and it almost killed him. Cameron also said Michael was a very talented actor from a fairly small town in Alabama, and never adapted to the Hollywood scene at all.
Paxton was great in Frailty (with Matthew McConaughey) in case anyone's looking for recommendations. Good movie too.
I never met Bill Paxton but his passing hit me like a Mack truck. My friends and I have been quoting his movies since seeing Weird Science on VHS. My friend named his first born son Hudson after Bill's character. True! Biehn and Paxton and Weaver were all brilliant in Aliens.
Me too, Neil.
Bill Paxton in Twister will never be forgotten. Simply fun and brilliant.
When you are missed and loved you’re not gone…..
RIP Bill……
❤❤❤
This guy's one of my favorite actors he crushed every one of his roles! Terminator, tombstone, aliens,the abyss,Navy seals?! Pretty much a very underrated hero or in tombstone the anti-hero from all my favorite movies. And I love how he's speaking highly of mr. Paxton!
"YOU'RE STEWED BUTTWAD" BIll Paxton in Weird Science absolutely killed me as Older Brother Chet, I'm pretty sure that was the 1st time I had seen Bill In a Movie but then to see him In Aliens "Game over man Game Over" I just had a feeling he was going to be pretty big one day , It was tough to hear that he passed after a surgery, that was fairly routine . The good thing is that we have his performances on DVD etc and watching those makes it feel like he's still here that's one of the great things about Movies !
I remember him as the dad in frailty. Frailty had my all time favorite surprise ending.
great acting in that one!!!
@@lilpoohbear653 He directed it as well.
l'm a big fan of both Michael Biehn and Bill Paxton. l was watching a podcast when it was it was announced that Bill had passed away. l was so taken aback l cried on the spot. As Michael says - sadly missed ! 😢
I love Michael Biehn's work and also Bill Paxton's. Breaks my heart to hear it must be true that they f'd up Bill's heart surgery. What a loss!! 💔 Also love how Michael is such a straight-forward, no b.s. kind of guy. Absolutely loved him in Terminator and Aliens. ❤
This is my favorite IoY interview yet. Thank you Rosenbaum for letting the stories have breathing room. Michael Biehn is one of my favorite actors of all time and it means a lot to me to hear and see that he is doing so well (and looking great)!
The thing I get the most about people remembering Bill is how Bill would go way out of his way to be good to others. He had this sharp sense of humor but underneath that there was a truly legit good guy.
Paxton always struck me as a dude everyone liked
From the bit part in Terminator to Aliens, the often-forgotten role as Chett in Weird Science, Near Dark, Predator 2, the cameo in True Romance, and all the other parts, Paxton was always entertaining in whatever he did.
What character to Bill play in True Romance?
@@garyhall2770 He's probably thinking of Bill's TOMBSTONE co-star Val Kilmer, who played Elvis. A great small Paxton role I haven't seen anybody mention yet is the wisecracking bartender in Walter Hill's wildly entertaining STREETS OF FIRE. For bigger ones, you don't get much better than the 1992 two-piece knockout of ONE FALSE MOVE and TRESPASS (the latter another Hill.)
He rocked Near Dark,
I met Michael at a horror movie convention in Dallas about ten years ago and he looked pretty rough at the time. You could tell he wasn't feeling well, but he was such a nice guy. I'm glad to see him looking much better now. He was just out walking around talking to people in the crowd. This was one of the Terminator reunions. Linda Hamilton was there too, but she wasn't out walking around talking with people like Michael and Robert Patrick and Dee Snyder were.
Bill Paxton RIP and Michael biehn were always good together in terminator, aliens, tombstone and navy seals. Got to give Jim Cameron credit for giving us these tough and talented guys like these two as well as Arnold Schwarzenegger, Robert Patrick and Stephen lang.
I remember that Michael Biehn said that Bill Paxton was unsure as to how Pvt. Hudson was going to looked at because he felt that Hudson was annoying or that his performance would be ill received because people would think he was annoying.
This made Bill Paxton sad, and basically both James Cameron and Michael told him that Hudson was the audience, he was the hysterical emotion of the audience that expressed the fears and thoughts onscreen. That was what basically calmed Bill and he continued his great performance on ALIENS. This was the to me a parallel on how Veronica Cartwright felt of Lambert in ALIEN as well, because Lambert was similar to Hudson on basically channeling the audience's feelings and thoughts.
All of the characters in ALIENS, as like in ALIEN, they are eternally iconic. Bill Paxton to me will always be Pvt. Hudson and Jerry "The lone Ranger" in PREDATOR 2, and Michael Biehn will always be Corporal Dwayne Hicks.
We must enjoy life and try not to hurt people because life is as Michael said, and there will be a time all will unexpectedly end, and it will be like in Pvt. Hudson's iconic phrase "Game over man, Game over"
You need to bring Biehn back for the 10 minute story, it's a must! I loved the both of them so much every time they were in a film together.
He made the movie TWISTER a blast, RIP, Bill.
I remember where I was when I heard Bill passed. I was parking a car in a Mexican restaurant. My wife was inside already getting a table and shots. I heard them interrupt the broadcast in the radio and say Bill Paxton had passed during surgery and they needed more information. I parked my car and sat a bit. I too have had open heart surgery but at the time I did not know it was heart surgery he was having. But it makes you stop and think of what if. Very sad.
Mike is having trouble getting the words out. I wasn't unaware that he'd had a stroke. Explains alot. Nothing but love for ya Mike !
I couldn't believe when i heard he died. He was so handsome and charismatic, I loved every movie he was in. I was obsessed with Twister when it came out and had a poster on my wall. 💔
This was one of the better interviews I've heard in a long time.
Such an awesome description of a human that loved another… just well said and eloquently put. Love this man
I got his pic and autograph at an autograph signing event in Dallas at the Hyatt inside the dfw airport about 10-12 years ago. He seemed more humble back then . He was very nice.
Michael Biehn is one of my fav actors. Loved all his movie roles. A rugged, handsome actor, he was the perfect cast both in Terminator and Aliens.
- From India with Love ❤️
Thank you for bringing the real human stories to light in these interviews. everyone forgets in the celebrity arena, these are people, basic, human and real - jut the same. Thank you so much. Your channel and its content s so awesome
Amazing, one of my very favorite actors talking so wonderfully about another of my favorite actors. It's nice to see. I really miss Bill Paxton.
So sad he's gone, he would have been such a funny and interesting guest to have on any podcast with his experiences
Paxton's nickname is knuckles. I named my dog knuckles in his memory. Bill Paxton is awesome.
When I heard Bill Paxton had died, I said to myself "This can't be happening man! This ISN'T happening!"
"Game over, man!"
Love micheal biehn and do miss Bill they starred in so many great films together
He was just so damn funny in Club Dread ("Pineapples?" "Yes, Goddamnnit!! YES!!").
Bill and Michael are two if my favorite actors. I cried bug time hearing of his passing.
Bill was so good at standing out even if cast in a supporting role such as Aliens, True Lies, or Tombstone. Who can forget his characters in those movies, though they were not the central character in the story? He has some great lead roles too though and I loved him in A Simple Plan with Billy Bob Thornton. An underrated movie for sure.
He was great as Chet in Weird Science ! He will always be remembered for the line " Game over man, game over ! "
Bill is one of the things I most remember of my childhood/teens in the 80s and 90s. Great films that he made without doubt.
Bill Paxton is sorely missed!! He was fucking awesome!! R.I.P Ultimate Badass!!!
Michael made this podcast stay in my top 3 man he's so cool he doesn't even think he's cool
Bill Paxton will always be missed great actor
What an incredible actor... Sorely missed 👑💯.. Rest in Power Bill Paxton 👑💯
More Mike, more, more, more ❤😂
I have never heard Michael Biehn in an interview before. Right when he started talking my brain started firing Aliens and Terminator memories. Such a recognizable voice.
Bill Paxton made classic movies all around. I was watching Aliens when I heard that he died and couldn’t help but feel that even in death, he is immortal.
I loved that storm chasers spelled out BP on their GPS trackers so you could see Bills initials across the midwest
I first saw Bill Paxton On the Barnes & Barnes Fish Heads video that he directed a very long time ago, but first heard the song on the Dr. Demento show. Bill was a great actor that really entertained the world through all his movie's... RIP Bill..
Miss Bill Paxton. Rest in power.
He speaks about Bill in the present tense. Love this. I miss Bill dearly.
Both my favorite actors 💎💎
Could listen to him all night...great show ..
Michael is such an awesome actor. Absolute master of being a calm/collected badass.
Bill Paxton had that little Cameo in Comando as young naval radar guy. Great actor and i love watching him in Aliens.
Interesting source to hear this from... not just because they were friends from way back and worked together often... they have something in common. Everyone I've heard to work with either of them, Biehn or Paxton, really likes working with them. Actors like that should get more work. Not only are they good at the craft, but everyone has a better time just because they are on set. Good work, no ego trips, and good times. That sounds like a great acting resume to me.
Just watched the Terminator on the big screen last night. Well done Michael Biehn.
Absolutely loved Paxton's character in Aliens to know that he was similar to that in real life is awesome.
Born in the 70's, came of age in the 80's...
Bill & Michael will forever and foremost be Pvt. Hudson and Corporal Hicks to me.
Loved Bill Paxton in Aliens 2 and Near Dark. Love a lot of the characters he played. Absolutely a riot in True Lies. It was a sad day when he passed.
Private Hudson is one of the best comedic performances ever. The first time you see Aliens it is so unexpected. After seeing the movie a few times it’s like Bill Paxton is the star. That’s just great… what are we going to do now? Comedy Gold.
I love Bill in everything. So sad to hear of his passing.
My dog I named Hudson, died in in March of 2017 after Bill died. I always prayed that Hudsy would be at Bill's side when he died.
Every film Bill Paxton was in was better for having him in it... From terminator, weird science, aliens, near dark, predator 2, twister, true lies, Apollo 13, titanic etc. He made every movie that little bit better just with his presence,, he may never have been the main billing but he was always the star who never got to shine. R.I.P Bill you were always the main event to me 👍❤️ much loved and forever missed
