The late Bill Paxton's son, James Paxton, appears in the upcoming Twisters in a cameo role, something he said that he wanted to do.
Speaking to Entertainment Weekly, Paxton was asked what made him want to be in Twisters, and he recalled the process of auditioning for the movie and having to take some time to process being offered a role. In the end, though, Paxton said he just wanted to “be a conduit” for the spirit of his father, and honor his presence.
“I wanted to be a conduit for his spirit there and cheer everyone in this production on to success because I know he would be,” said Paxton. “I wanted to do something that really honors his presence in this new chapter and really do something for him. And I realized there’s a lot of amazing people involved in this that I would love to get to know. And so it ended up feeling like the right thing to do, to be representative of Dad there.
Bill Paxton was one of the most popular actors of the 1980s-19902, where he starred in a number of high-profile projects, including Aliens, Tombstone, True Lies, Apollo 13, Twister, Titanic, and more. In 2017, Paxton passed away due to complications from a damaged aortic heart valve.
