Itâs 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 Rodriguezâs Sin City (2005) and Sin City: A Dame to Kill For (2014).
Powers Bootheâs credits also include playing Cy Tolliver on HBOâs Deadwood, Vice President Noah Daniels on 24, Judge Valentine âWallâ Hatfield in Hatfields & McCoys, and former mayor Lamar Wyatt on Nashville.
