'S.H.I.E.L.D.''s Powers Boothe Dies at 68
by EG
Powers Boothe had a screen presence that lived up to his name.
The actor, who died Sunday at the age of 68, had an intensity onscreen that made you want to back up a few steps. His matinee idol good looks were subsumed by this force of will, which often led the actor to be cast as heavies, villains, madmen – and politicians.
“The heavies are more fun,” the actor told American Profile magazine in 2014. “And I think they’re more interesting.”
Boothe died in his sleep from apparent natural causes, his rep tells EW. His death first broke online through longtime friend Beau Bridges, who tweeted: “It’s with great sadness that I mourn the passing of my friend Powers Boothe. A dear friend, great actor, devoted father & husband.”
