Maybe could have lived a little longer, but he had a rich, full life.

kind of young these days to die at that age. RIP.

I guess he finally drank the kool-aid.


He played Jim Jones.

This is the guy from Red Dawn.

"What's the capital of Texas?"
"Austin"
"Wrong, commie! It's Houston."

-------

"Well, who is on our side?"
"Six hundred million screamin' Chinamen."
"Well, last I heard, there were a billion screamin' Chinamen."
"There were"

The Emerald forest is probably my favourite Powers Boothe movie. The story is of a family living at an Amazon dam construction project in the remote Amazon jungle. Eventually when it's built the dam would flood much of the indigenous people lands. The development driven father with no concern of the native people (Powers Boothe) son is abducted by one of these remote tribes and they raise him while his father searches in vain or ten years.

In complete agreement, was going to post this.

RIP Powers

He was also good in a forgotten B-movie with Rutger Hauer - A Breed Apart - http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0087001/?ref_=nm_flmg_act_61

A great character actor, R.I.P. and well ... bye.

I will miss him. He played some bad (well done villain) roles over the years.
