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

Damn, he was an old favorite, lots of good roles. RIP Powers. "But, as luck would have it, he stood up. He caught that chunk of lead."

Loved him as Cash in Extreme Prejudice. Lot of good lines in that one. Cash Bailey: You know, Jack. I got a feeling the next time we run into each other, we gonna have a killin'. Just a feeling. _______________________ “The only power any government has is the power to crack down on criminals. Well, when there aren't enough criminals, one makes them.

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