Television and movie actor Powers Boothe died Sunday in his sleep from apparent natural causes, his publicist said. He was 68.
The youngest of
three sons, Boothe was born and raised in Texas; he attended Texas State
University, becoming the first member of his family to go to college.
He won an Emmy for his turn as Jim Jones in the 1980 CBS drama Guyana Tragedy: The Story of Jim Jones, and appeared in numerous television shows and movies, including Tombstone, Nixon, MacGruber, The Avengers, Deadwood, 24, Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D., and Nashville.
Boothe married his wife, Pam, in 1969, and the couple had two children,
daughter Parisse and son Preston.
On Sunday, his friend, actor Beau
Bridges, tweeted that Boothe was a "dear friend, great actor, devoted
father and husband."
