He was great with Bill Paxton in Frailty and Tombstone. RIP
Another of the guys I grew up watching on TV and film. He always seemed like such a gentleman in interviews. He will be missed.
RIP Prayers for his family and friends. He was a great actor.
OMG, no no no! I hate hearing that. The Emerald Forest is one of my 5 favorite films of all time! And Southern Comfort, maybe the ultimate southern 'guy movie'. In the 80's/90's he had the potential of being a major film star. I always liked him. I hope he had a good life.

Ah - so that is where I saw him - he gave a pretty good performance - (they mixed it in with actual footage, which gave me the creeps)
That pic is from Southern Comfort, one of my favorite movies of all time. He is awesome in that movie with Fred Ward, Peter Coyote, Keith Carradine. It's a really good flick if you haven't seen it.I've been fortunate in my career to have the opportunity to pick and choose the parts I play. I've also been lucky to always be involved with quality actors, quality directors, quality writers........another great loss, damn and double damn!.....
I loved Southern Comfort. It has one of my favorite endings. What a shame to lose Powers Boothe.
Definitely. Bill Paxton and Powers Boothe in the same year. Two of my favorite actors of all time.....
Right there with you Zone D Dad!! Keith Carradine was fantastic too. And like ghost19 said, to lose him & Bill Paxton in the same year ... ! About 3 years ago I was talked into binge-watching 'Big Love' over several weekends, and it destroyed me! I loved it. Very underrated show. I really didn't like seeing Powers Boothe playing villains & character parts. And I LOVE Sin City. I just didn't like seeing him in it. For me, he just wasn't that guy. But hey, he stayed working & relevant in Hollywood. Quite an accomplishment. The tweets from friend & costars call him a family man. His Wikipedia says he met & married his college sweetheart in 1969. They were still married! 48 years? Wow. Tough mofo! Him & Paxton were guys who bore their aging masculinity with grace. Not always an easy thing to do. Try it sometime!
