Carrière
Bill Paxton débute devant la caméra dans le film d'action Crazy Mama de Jonathan Demme (1975). Neuf ans et sept petits rôles plus tard, l'acteur fait une apparition courte mais remarquée dans Terminator, de James Cameron, face à Arnold Schwarzenegger nu comme un ver agressé par une bande de punks dont il est le chef. Ces quelques secondes à l'écran marquent le début d'une longue collaboration avec James Cameron.
Dans Une créature de rêve de John Hughes il est le grand frère bourrin. Ensuite il apparaît dans Commando en 1985, puis incarne un marine colonial dans Aliens, le retour un an plus tard. En 1987, l'acteur joue le vampire moderne dans Aux frontières de l'aube, réalisé par Kathryn Bigelow, future épouse de James Cameron.
Predator 2 en 1990 et Tombstone en 1993 confirment encore la propension du comédien aux seconds rôles musclés, avant que True Lies ne l'amène une nouvelle fois au cœur de la galaxie Cameron en 1994, collaborant à nouveau avec Arnold Schwarzenegger. Un an plus tard, il s'envole à bord de la mission Apollo 13 en compagnie de Tom Hanks et Kevin Bacon.
En 1996, il tient sa première véritable tête d'affiche aux côtés d'Helen Hunt dans Twister, l'un des grands vainqueurs de l'été américain. Il assoit encore sa popularité un an plus tard en incarnant un explorateur de fonds sous-marins dans Titanic.
En 1998, Un plan simple de Sam Raimi est une production plus modeste mais saluée par la critique. L'acteur retrouve cependant vite les chemins du cinéma populaire avec Mon ami Joe (1999), puis U-571 et Vertical Limit tous deux produits en 2000.
En 2002, il signe son premier long métrage derrière la caméra avec Emprise, dont il est également l'une des deux têtes d'affiche avec Matthew McConaughey, puis participe à l'aventure de Spy Kids 2 : Espions en herbe. Il retrouve également James Cameron pour le film-documentaire Les Fantômes du Titanic.
En 2006 et 2010, il incarne Bill Henrickson, un mormon fondamentaliste qui vit avec ses trois femmes, dans la série Big Love diffusée sur HBO.
En 2013 et 2014, il joue dans 9 épisodes de la série Marvel : Les Agents du SHIELD où il incarne John Garrett.

En février 2017, quelques semaines avant son opération de chirurgie cardiaque, l'acteur déclare dans une interview avec Marc Maron qu'il a une valve cardiaque endommagée, résultat de la fièvre rhumatismale qu'il avait contractée dans sa jeunesse.
Il meurt le 25 février 2017 à Ojai, en Californie à l'âge de 61 ans, des suites de complications liées à une opération de chirurgie cardiaque.

Dr. Rex Martin is a top neurosurgeon, who is active in studying brain malfunctions that cause mental illnesses. High school friend Jim Reston, a successful businessman at Eunice, requires Martin's aid in reaching the mind of John Halsey, a former genius mathematician who once worked for the company and is now a paranoid psychotic at a nearby asylum. Dr. Martin's surgery is intended to successfully alter the patient's mental attitude, either unlocking the corporate secrets within Halsey's brain or else leaving Halsey unable to accidentally share them with anyone else. As Martin begins the surgical procedure, he starts to experience the same paranoid dreams as Halsey. The episodes grow in intensity until it becomes unclear whether Martin is a doctor imagining he's the patient, or a mental patient who succumbed to the delusion that he was a brain surgeon. Martin floats further and further from reality, caught between his loyalty to his business colleagues and his own humanity.

The film opens with a mysterious man, later referred to as "Byron" (portrayed by Bob Peck), running down a canyon, being harassed by an aeroplane. Byron takes refuge from his pursuers on a precipice overlooking the canyon. The plane lands and its occupants, two obsessive law enforcement officers named Will Tasker and Belitski (Mark Hamill and Kitty Aldridge), chase the man on foot. They shoot the fugitive through the arm with a grappling hook. The fugitive looks at his arm, but does not seem injured, only intrigued. Tasker pulls on the rope now connected to the fugitive. He tumbles down the side of the canyon, but once again is not harmed. Immediately after his fall, the fugitive recites the words of famous World War II aviator and poet John Gillespie Magee, Jr., "I have slipped the surly bonds of Earth - put out my hand and touched the Face of God.", from the poem High Flight.

Curry is the Rev. Ray Porter, who runs a Pentecostal faith healing and televangelism empire based in Arkansas. A small group of stereotypical rednecks, one of whom was bilked out of her inheritance by Rev. Porter's ministry and another of whom just got out of prison, try to rob Porter's ministry. A series of wrong turns inside the church during the robbery leads the robbers onstage right in the middle of a broadcast, and the three robbers turn what was supposed to have been "just" a robbery into a hostage situation. During the hostage negotiations, a series of snowballing scandals involving the ministry come to light. The robbery, hostage taking, and scandal revelations are all broadcast live over satellite television as locals gather in bars to watch. Rev. Porter and the robbers develop a rapport during the hostage situation that resembles shop talk among thieves, as they discuss the best ways of investing stolen money. One comic subplot involves the Christian network's producer, a drug-addled electronics wizard named Stonewall who decorates his workspace with Pink Floyd posters, but was hired by the network because "he has found the Lord...he told us so himself." Another subplot involves a local sheriff, himself also an archetypal redneck whose duck hunting trip was interrupted by the incident, who seems to sympathize with the would-be robbers. The film is partly about his moral struggle in trying to enforce the law when his sympathies lie elsewhere. He just wants to see the situation end with nobody getting hurt, and butts heads with the network's owner and federal agents who demand harsher action. The owner of the satellite network, whose character is based on Jerry Falwell, demands that the National Guard be called in leading to a siege and climactic ending.

The most unsociable of all the vampires, the callous and sociopathic Severen (Bill Paxton), wants to kill Caleb, but Mae reveals she has turned him into a vampire. Their charismatic leader, Jesse Hooker (Lance Henriksen), reluctantly agrees to allow Caleb to remain with them for a week to see if he can learn to hunt and become a trusted member of their group. Caleb is unwilling to kill to feed, which alienates him from the others. To protect him, Mae kills for him and then has him drink from her wrist.

Alone for the weekend with Wyatt's parents gone, Gary is inspired by the 1931 classic Frankenstein to create a virtual girl using Wyatt's computer; infusing her with everything they can conceive to make the perfect dream girl. After hooking electrodes to a doll and hacking into a government computer system for more power, a power surge creates Lisa, a beautiful and intelligent woman with seemingly endless powers. Promptly, she conjures up a Cadillac convertible to take the boys out to a bar, using her powers to manipulate people into believing Gary and Wyatt are of age.

The film is about the residents of a small rural town whose inhabitants start to exhibit strange and violent behavior after a small earthquake ruptures the seal on a toxic waste burial site. The toxic material has migrated into the town's local dairy milk supply. Stuart, played by Tim Matheson, and his girlfriend Jennifer, played by Meg Tilly, come to the town to visit her hospitalized mother. The couple begin to notice increasingly odd behavior by several of the townspeople. Although Stuart drinks the local milk, Jennifer does not. As the day progresses, the townspeople and Stuart begin to exhibit signs of violent and extreme sexual behavior. Jennifer visits her friend Margo (Amy Stryker) where she observes evidence that she broke her son's arm. When Jennifer tries to leave in her car, she can't because the kids have slashed her ties. When she tries to leave in Margo's car, the kids trap her in the garage and set it on fire. Jennifer barely escapes with her life. The local doctor (Hume Cronyn) euthanizes Jennifer's mother then takes his own life. Stuart discovers that Jennifer's brother Eddie (Bill Paxton) harbors incestuous feelings for her and kills him. As the town descends into chaos and Stuart becomes violent, Jennifer flees in a pickup truck but gets stuck outside of town.
