This is a shame, loved him in Aliens...

Sad day. :-(

 

[Bunglebubs]

That's a bit of a shocker

Real shame RIP

Still young- so sad. RIP Private Hudson

just heard this and is real sad news to hear. Loved him from first seeing him in weird Science, through to the end. He was a great character actor and would turn up in the strangest of places sometimes like one of the punks at the start of Terminator (made sense for James cameron to get a fuller performance from him in Aliens).

He will be very missed and 61 is no age to go.

Dam that's a downer, he played some great & IMO very under rated roles through his career, really rather devastated to read this sad new

Always loved his character in Near Dark ( Severen ) classic film if you've not seen it,may have to watch it tonight in memory.

One of his performances that is over looked, but IMO pure gold:

You are indeed correct sir -

Thing doing the rounds is he's the only person to be killed by the Terminator, An alien, and a Predator. Had to be a bit pedantic on this and say that firstly being thrown against a railing in The Terminator is very unlikely to have killed a tough street punk. Then in Aliens he is clearly dragged away alive in order to be impregnated. The complex on LV-426 blew up soon after, so a chest burster wouldn't have had enough time to grow in him and burst out. Therefore he was killed by the blast, not an alien

Hudson was classic role, but let's not forget one of the funniest roles in film - playing the used car salesman in True Lies :lol:

Another tiny role in an Arnie film was playing a radar operator onboard a navy ship
