In what is arguably the best violent death scene in cinematic history, the valiant marine Wierzbowski unleashes a painful howl and falls at the mercy of a savage and sinister creature, and all who are watching this movie classic Aliens are suddenly and unequivocally drowned by grief at the loss. He is immortalized by one eerie shot of his headcam giving out, and his fellow marine urgently calling out his name.
... okay, so maybe the viewer doesn't have a chance to get too attached to him in the movie. Okay, so the viewer isn't actually sure who Wierzbowski is. But dammit, his name is listed in the credits (he was played by Trevor Steedman, a household name for sure), his name looked pretty cool printed across his headcam monitor, and we, the Wierzbowski Hunters, are not going to allow his death to have been in vain.
