Awful, condolences to his family and his good friend Theodore

blimey. My one claim to fame was i was in a film with him. Lovely chap with us plebs. Rubbish film though.

Everyone’s getting old.

I remember him as a total arshat in ‘weird science’was a bit of a cult film for me growing up,sad news that.

wonder what the surgery was.

No, that is terrible. As slight underagers, me and my chum blagged our way in to see Aliens (I think they would have let in a 10-year old to be honest), but I loved that film and he was brilliant in it. Sad day.

No way 😥 a great actor. Brilliant in Weird Science, my favourite character in Aliens and great in the world’s best guilty pleasure that is Twister.

Condolences to his family and friends.

RIP 🙁

I always remember him as Private Hudson in Aliens.

Wow that’s a shock, been in some great films RIP

Sad. He was brilliant in “A Simple Plan”.
It can’t have been easy keeping a straight face with Billy Bob wearing Ken Dodd’s teeth…

Nooooo!!!!

Great actor. Responsible for one of the best ever lines in one of the best ever movies…

Or how about Chet Donnelly in Weird Science…

“I wouldn’t give a squirt of piss for your ass right now!”.

RIP. What a loss.

Coincidently watched him in Apollo 13 yesterday.

I remember him as a total arshat in ‘weird science’was a bit of a cult film for me growing up,sad news that.

It was a cult film for me growing up too, but not particularly because of Bill Paxton. (-:

Oh yeah cougar.. kelly le’brock I believe,

RIP Chet.
Brilliant film from my yoof. “For Christ sakes will you cover yourself”

He was great in Aliens. One of my favourite movies.

Also in ‘Navy Seals’. Along with Aliens one of my favourites from my yoof.

He was in so many great films, always a solid performer and stole every scene. Near Dark was probably my favourite performance of his.

^^^ That bit where he gets “strangled” in the bar – brilliant. And “how about a nice greasy pork sandwich served in a dirty ashtray?”

Never thought much of him.as an actor.

Too young to go, rip.

Genuinely a bit crushed about this one. He was one of those actors who always put in a great performance, no matter how good the film around was. In a lot more films than you realise too! I always liked it when I spotted him in something. By all accounts something of a legend off screen too! Survived by his wife of 30 years and two kids, a great loss 🙁

In a lot more films than you realise too!

Aye. He’s one of those actors, rarely a lead but in absolutely bloody everything.

great in the world’s best guilty pleasure that is Twister.

I love that film, never knows quite what side of the line it is.

Thought this was sort of lovely in a ridiculous way

RIP, the man was killed on screen by a Terminator, an Alien and a Predator! Makes him a legend in my eyes!

Love that!

Ah, just realised he was in one of my favourite films – “Near Dark” – watch that as a tribute to him. He’s brilliantly evil in it.
RIP

Agreed- Near Dark is an amazing film 🙂

He was superb in True Lies
