In 1980, Boothe took home the Emmy for lead actor in a limited series or special for playing Jim Jones in Guyana Tragedy: The Story of Jim Jones.
It’s with great sadness that I mourn the passing of my friend Powers Boothe.
Powers Boothe had quite the presence in comic book movies and TV shows in recent years. He played Senator Roark in both Robert Rodriguez’s Sin City (2005) and Sin City: A Dame to Kill For (2014).
Powers Boothe’s credits also include playing Cy Tolliver on HBO’s Deadwood, Vice President Noah Daniels on 24, Judge Valentine “Wall” Hatfield in Hatfields & McCoys, and former mayor Lamar Wyatt on Nashville.
