Powers Boothe, known for acting in various roles in film and TV, has died at age 68, CBS News has learned.

Boothe's spokesperson Karen Samfilippo released the following statement to CBS:

"Unfortunately it is true. Powers died in his sleep this morning of natural causes. There will be a private service held in Texas where he was from. A memorial celebration in his honor is being considered for a future date. Donations can be made to the Gary Sinise Foundation, which honors the nation's defenders, veterans, first responders, their families and those in need."

Boothe will be remembered for starring in films like "Sin City" and TV shows like "Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D." "24," and "Deadwood."

He is probably best remembered for this line in Tombstone.

Dammit! Frown
First Bill Paxton, now Powers Boothe. Both were first rate character actors, Texans, and had memorable roles in many of my favorite movies.

Loved him as Cash in Extreme Prejudice. Lot of good lines in that one.

Some excellent roles mentioned. I'll also add his role as VP Noah Daniels in "24." Great character actor, especially as a heavy.
