Powers Boothe has passed away. I really liked his work. I bought every character he was trying to sell.
I'm glad I have a lot of his films on DVD.
Godspeed "Bill".

Sorry, your post beat me by 2 minutes. Waaay back, remember him in "Red Dawn" with Patrick Swayze?

He was a good actor. Always had supporting roles. I never knew his name but I do remember him in Red Dawn.
He played the commander of Cuban forces right?
Checked movie credits...he played the Air Force pilot who was shot down.
It's early.

Unforgettable as Cy Tolliver in "Deadwood." A villain's villain but with that certain je ne sais quois...

Great "character actor" in lots of films. I read somewhere that he and Jack Nicholson were great buddies ?

He was very good in the roles he played. It's a shame he went so young, only 68.

RIP, Mr. Booth.
As an actor, he could take sleaze to a new low every time he was on the screen.
Great, great, character actor.
PS - Married for 47 years. Survived by his wife and two children.

I genuinely hate to hear this. Damn. What a loss. And only sixty-eight years of age. Entirely too young to leave us.
I believe I liked him best as the more-than-slightly-psychopathic saloon owner Cy Tolliver in Deadwood. He brought a depth to that character way past what the script probably called for, and the director just let him run with it, I think.
I believe I'll break out my Deadwood DVDs this evening. Or maybe even watch Tombstone.
I hope he rests peacefully in eternity.

Check out a movie called "Southern Comfort." Interesting plot line.

He's remembered here in New Mexico for the locally shot Red Dawn.
He was the shotdown F-15 Pilot who helped the Sway's Man and friends go after those Commies.
Patrick Swayze is also remembered here. He bought a ranch and became a part time resident.

wonder if he had sleep apnea or something, strange way to go in your sleep but probably the best way. He was a great character actor, and made others around him better in their respected roles.
All good actors and musicians are passing away left and right. With no clear replacements.

Tombstone, Deadwood, and Extreme Prejudice. Our movie world is smaller. RIP.
First Michael Parks and now Powers Boothe. Great character actors. Hope there is not a third soon. I remember Boothe most clearly playing Curly Bill in "Tombstone." The scene where he shot up the wedding party gave him credibility as a bad guy, and the gun-twirling scene in the bar with Val Kilmer as Doc Holiday (who twirled his tin cup in response) was a classic movie moment.

Edit: It was Michael Biehn, not Boothe, who did the gun-twirling thing. My boo-boo.
