Bill Paxton has had a hit-and-miss film career: "Titanic" was a big movie, but he had a small role; "Traveller" had a great, meaty role for him, but the film was small. Enter HBO's "Big Love," which starred Paxton as a conflicted modern-day polygamist in Utah ... moretrying to run a business, raise his kids and fly below the radar with three wives. Paxton was sympathetic and compulsively watchable as the beleaguered Bill Henrickson. And what great new role might be awaiting Paxton now that "Big Love" has just wrapped up its final season? God only knows.
