Bill Paxton Action Connections

Ever since I saw that Bill Paxton has been in an Alien, a Predator and a Terminator (two of which were directed by James Cameron) I realized he has other huge action connections.  He was also in…

John Hughes isn't an action director but
goddammit Paxton's worked with

Not that everyone I listed falls into this category but he sure has worked with a lot of action royalty.
