RolandDeschain 91 Posted February 26, 2017 RIP to an actor who starred in some great films. Apart from Aliens (and his cameo in The Terminator), Frailty was also a good film - also made a good performance as the sergeant in Edge of Tomorrow. It is indeed, 'game over' for Bill 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
