Powers Boothe died in his sleep on Sunday, May 14th at 68 years old. Born June 1st, 1948 in Snyder, Texas, he comes onto the Marvel radar with his latest work as Gideon Malick one of the many heads of HYDRA on ABC's Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.. He actually is one of the main reasons I stayed on watching at a time when I was thinking of giving up on the show. Almost always playing a villain Powers Boothe came into my life as Curly Bill in one of my favorite movies, Tombstone. I've never seen him in a role that he has not played to perfection. No matter the quality of the actual piece of work it was in. My heart goes out to all his family & friends in this time of mourning.
