Boothe has had a lot of great roles but my top 2 from him are from "Guyana: The Jim Jones Tragedy" and "Tombstone".

I like both and would add Red Dawn I like that movie In retrospect, "Red Dawn" is cheesy as hell but Powers was very convincing in the role of an F-15 pilot. He's one of those few actors who can still be good even when appearing in a campy movie.

Don't forget Deadwood. A great performance in a show full of them. He had a cool Philip Marlowe series on HBO back in the day I loved. Last saw him on Agents of Shield. Talented guy, another gone too soon.

I remember him best from Red Dawn and Extreme Prejudice. That stentorian voice of his was amazing, I bet you'd have no trouble hearing him on a parade ground.

his performance in Deadwood made everyone else alive to me, just trying to hang onto his piece of the action.

Died of "natural causes" at 68? That doesn't sound right.

I always thought he had the coolest name. I'm not sure if that was his birth name or his adopted stage name.

Seems that was his birth name.
