Picture

Maybe we should get a picture of this guy since everyone knows the name but not what he looks like. In fact he's so forgettable that Family Guy had a joke with him regarding the confusion of him with Bill Paxton. I am among those many people who isn't sure which one is which. In fact I even remember once a radio show even said something to the effect of "This movie has Bill Paxton or Bill Pullman, not sure which one. Just one of those Bill P's that seems to be in a tonne of movies and nobody is sure who he is." Abrynkus 00:17, 29 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]

The reason Bill Pullman is so forgettable is because, unlike most Hollywood celebrities, Pullman doesn't do anything outside his filming, for the tabloid press to take any interest in him. He's like Sally Field. He just does his roles & then goes home to his family & doesn't court the press.--Splashen (talk) 03:11, 22 February 2013 (UTC)[reply]

"Official" website

The link at the bottom that says "Official Website" leads to a page that says "Bill Pullman.org is not officially connected in any way with Bill Pullman." — Preceding unsigned comment added by 68.110.127.49 (talk) 20:25, 3 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]

I've removed it. Thanks much.--Bbb23 (talk) 20:56, 3 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]

pullman/paxton debate

look, the fact you guys redacted this shiz don't mean shiz. FFS, if you have to go on multiple late-night talk shows to disambiguate yoursself, i am pretty sure it counts. Electricmaster (talk) 07:09, 8 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]

I've never understood the Pullman/Paxton debate. Besides having similar names, they don't look very similar and they certainly don't act similar. Besides, Bill Pullman looks more like Alec Baldwin or Michael Douglas. 2603:6080:5D00:2562:885B:988F:57A0:8E40 (talk) 16:58, 10 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]
