wow-he was a very iconic actor as I was growing up.
RIP.
Damn! RIP. :(
RIP
Nooooooooooooo! I suffer every time he dies in Red Dawn. Now this? :'(
RIP Powers.
RIP
Hail Spydra! :'(
Incidentally, he was also the voice of Grodd in the DCAU, so a major villain role there even before he moved to Marvel. (Although in the Avengers movie he wasn't really a "villain" yet, just an oversight committee member. His character wasn't revealed as a Hydra cult leader until Shield's 3rd season.)
One of my favorite actors. RIP.

Me too.
Red Dawn and his bad guy Hydra role in
Agents of Shield are where I remember him most from. RIP Powers...
One of my favorite character actors, he shined in every role he played. Definitely will be missed!
Family of Spies was a good one for me O0
Damn! That's too bad. Sixty-Eight is too young. He was a very good Bad Guy. :'(
He was great in Deadwood as Cy Tolliver.
RIP Powers. We will miss you.
Booth played a great Rev. Jim Jones in 'Guyana Tragedy'. He was also one of the co-stars (along with Keith Carradine) of an underrated movie called 'Southern Comfort'. Fun fact- the guy who wrote the script for 'Southern Comfort' also wrote the final one for 'The Warriors', and yes, there are a few similarities.
Powers Boothe and Bill Paxton, who also passed recently, starred alongside Matthew McConaughey in the very underrated movie, "Frailty". Personally it's one of my Top 100 movies, Top 25 in the suspense genre' at least. Superb acting all around and a plot that makes you reevaluate what you've seen at the end.

I will have to so as well.
It's one of those movies that I appreciated more the second time I saw it than the first. Still, I remember walking out of the theater with my sons and wife and we were all a bit like....whoa!
A very thoughtful 'In Memory Of' note at the end of Marvel's Agents of Shield season ender tonight for Mr.Booth. Well done ABC. :clap:
