Bill Paxton to start a month-long run on Agents Of S.H.I.E.L.D.
Having taken on aliens, a predator, feuding hillbillies, tornadoes, and society's rules about only being married to one person at a time, Bill Paxton is now ready to face some supervillains as an Agent of S.H.I.E.L.D. In an arc comprising at least four episodes in late February or early March, Paxton will play John Garrett, a former partner of Clark Gregg's Agent Coulson, who's been promoted but nevertheless "wants to stay out in the field no matter how high-level he gets." That means he "refuses to sit behind a desk and doesn't like the formalities of S.H.I.E.L.D."
