Wow!–61! ???
Out of the 63 movies IMDb has him credited in (http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0000200/?nmdp=1&ref_=nm_ql_4#filmography), I’ve seen the ones listed below.
I can’t say I remember him specifically in each of the movies, and I don’t remember much about three of the movies–Frank & Jesse, Trespass, and The Lords of Discipline.
However, looking at just the movies themselves, Mighty Joe Young, Boxing Helena, and The Dark Backward are the three movies I know I didn’t care for; and the rest of the movies, outside of maybe just an okay for Next of Kin, I liked–most of them I really liked--especially the ones in bold.

I always liked him and apparently he was a nice guy who was married to the same woman for 30 years.

2001 Frailty - Dad Meiks
Now that you've mentioned this film, I love the twist of this story so called "The Hands of God". This is the first directorial job of Bill Paxton
-
Paxton and Pullman were so routinely confused that they were often simply known as The Two Bills. But there was ONE film that they both were in and it is a mind-bender. It is called Brain Dead and it was the last thing produced from a Charles Beaumont story/screenplay. This guy wrote some of the most iconic Twilight Zones ever, so you definitely know something of his work. Brain Dead was definitely obscure, but it is such a joy to watch. "Ooh, NOW I know what's going one!!" Er, nope. Ya don't. Check it out.

His role in Twister really stands out for me. I saw that some storm chasers in the midwest paid tribute to him for bringing attention to their profession.

Big Love is one of my all time favorite shows.
