Today brings about some very sad news for fans of James Cameron's Aliens, as we can confirm the passing of Al Matthews at the age of 75. A neighbor recently found the actor unresponsive in his Spanish home, where he had been living since retiring there in 2005. Matthews was declared dead soon after he was found, and the official cause of death will be revealed after an autopsy.
Aliens has a very strong cast, but Matthews might have had the most quotable lines in the film. Notably, nobody can ever forget the way he gets his team moving in the morning. "Alright, sweethearts, what are you waiting for? Breakfast in bed?" Apone would ask them. Humorously, when one soldier complains about his feet being cold, the sergeant responds, "What do you want me to do, fetch your slippers for you?" Certainly, Matthews' portrayal of Apone is one of the film's most entertaining aspects.
