Powers Boothe, Emmy-Winning Character Actor, Dies at 68
« on: May 15, 2017, 03:25:08 am »


    Powers died in his sleep this morning of natural causes. There will be a private service held in Texas where he was from. A memorial celebration in his honor is being considered for a future date. Donations can be made to the Gary Sinise Foundation, which honors the nation’s defenders, veterans, first responders, their families and those in need.

Boothe had dozens of roles in film and television through a career that stretched back to 1980. He won the Emmy for outstanding lead actor in a limited series for his portrayal of cult leader Jim Jones in “Guyana Tragedy: The Story of Jim Jones” in 1980.

Sad to hear this. I remember him as the heavy in Agents of SHIELD last year.

Google JediJohnnie and May the Force be with you!

I liked him in the movie Frailty with Bill Paxton and Matthew McConaughey. I watch that movie a lot. I know a lot of people never heard of it but I think it is pretty good. :thumbsup:
