Bill Paxton is one of the most underrated character actors working today, and despite recieving eventual acclaim as the protagonist of HBO's TV series Big Love, he remains best-known for his performances in several of James Cameron's films, namely The Terminator, Aliens, True Lies and Titanic. While most memorable - and brilliant - as Pvt. Hudson in Aliens, Paxton has demonstrated considerable range in three small roles; going from the hard-nosed toughness of Hudson to the smarmy cowardice of Simon in True Lies. Though Paxton might still be able to convince in action scenes - just barely - he's proven over the years an exceptional quality as a dramatic performer. Paxton's inherent likeability near-guarantees his being cast as a heroic character of some kind, perhaps a bureaucrat on the other side of the table to Hamilton; the "good" paper-pusher who she is frequently at odds with. Recent roles in the likes of Haywire make it clear that Paxton looks good in sunglasses with a moustache, and is aging quite gracefully; why not make him the no-nonsense administrator who fights the good fight from behind a desk?
