Amanda Seyfried took time out Friday night to honor her \u201cBig Love\u201d co-star Bill Paxton, who died of a post-surgery stroke in 2017 at the age of 61. <\/p>\n

\u201cBill and me,\u201d Seyfried, 35, began her caption<\/a> of a photo of the pair on-set of the former HBO series. <\/p>\n

\u201cSorting through the thousands of photos I\u2019ve packed away over the years has been mostly fun but every once in a while I find one that brings me to my knees,\u201d she continued. \u201cI got so lucky to know this man and feel his bright, warm light so often while playing his daughter on Big Love. He was wonderful and so deeply loved and I miss him.\u201d<\/p>\n

Paxton and Seyfried co-starred on the polygamy drama from 2006 to 2011.<\/p>\n

The late actor \u2014 who also appeared in \u201cAliens,\u201d \u201cTwister\u201d and \u201cApollo 13\u2033 \u2014 died of complications from surgery for an aneurysm that resulted in a stroke. Soon after, his family filed a wrongful death suit against Cedars-Sinai Medical Center in Los Angeles and the surgeon, Dr. Ali Khoynezhad, who operated on Paxton.<\/p>\n

\u201cBill Paxton and his family trusted the physicians and staff at this medical facility but instead Cedars-Sinai betrayed their trust,\u201d the family\u2019s attorney Bruce Broillet said in a statement at the time. \u201cThe surgeon\u2019s actions resulted in this tragic and preventable death.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n

Khoynezhad and the hospital claimed in court documents, however, that the film and television star was \u201caware of certain dangers and risks involved\u201d adding the claim that Paxton had \u201can existing condition\u201d that made him susceptible to complications.<\/p>\n

Seyfried also praised her co-star upon first hearing news of his passing. <\/p>\n

\u201cHe was an amazing and supportive father figure to me in my early career,\u201d Seyfried told People at the time. \u201cIncredibly inspired and full of life at every turn, he made you feel like everything was possible. This is a terrible loss.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n
