🙏💔🙏

[@marlenepearson3936]

He was an excellent actor. I remember him as Jim Jones. I forgot he was like the only actor to accept his award in person; during the strike. Bold move. May he RIP 🙏 🪦 🕊 🕊 🕊

[@EdCollects]

Yeah, I was a big fan of his!

[@sandrasanders706]

He actually got a standing ovation for his Emmy win. His portrayal of Jim Jones was chilling and brilliant and downright frightening. You actually believed he was that madman.

[@marlenepearson3936]

@@@sandrasanders706 I remember!

[@Smedleydog1]

I remember his portrayal of Detective Phillip Marlowe years ago. Always liked Mr. Boothe. He was a versatile actor.

[@EdCollects]

Yeah, he seemed great in everything I saw him in.

[@tomupchurch4911]

Excellent in Extreme Predjudice and everything he did actually. Rest in peace sir. God be with you.

[@demondsims5411]

That's the first thing I saw Powers Boothe in. Philip Marlowe. He was a great actor.

[@michaelbogue7744]

He starred in Southern Comfort as well with Keith Carradine superb film directed by Walter Hill check it out.

[@SoCal780]

This is not known to many people outside the military (Army), but before he became a famous actor, Powers Boothe was shown in many Army training films from his days as a soldier. I saw quite a few of them when I was in the Army National Guard.

[@user-ic8rz7ol2w]

I remember him in Red Dawn! Always thought he was so handsome!💖💕

[@benjiebelit1322]

One of my favorite actors. Great voice 👌. ❤

[@stevekaplansky3169]

Southern Comfort, 1981, a Walter Hill cult classic. Definitely my favourite role of his😎

[@malcolmcook7007]

Great actor admired!

[@stephanieredden8861]

He was a good actor and Tombstone is one of my most favorite movies ever.

[@EdCollects]

Oh my gosh, yes, such a great movie and performance by Powers!

[@noneofyobiznizz9516]

I had a crush on him. He's a tough guy, a man's man.

[@kellyjostad4900]

I had a crush on him too. Not only is he a man’s man, he’s handsome and charming. 😊💚

[@closetculture3025]

I loved this actor, especially in westerns. My father was a huge spaghetti western and western fan and he was always my favorite. He also had such a unique swagger and voice to me and I just couldn't keep my eyes off him when he was on the screen.

[@mattstarr8203]

you forgot southern comfort

[@ericlencher2356]

Powers Booth was not in Con Air.

[@sebastiandrylla]

I say haeyyy to that...😊😊😊

[@MultiSweener]

Stellar performance

[@JesseNapoleon-zr2hf]

I remember Southern comfort.

[@MultiSweener]

@@JesseNapoleon-zr2hf just watched it the other day

[@DanFan2042]

Very talented. My favorite movies of his were Frailty and Blue Sky. He is missed.

[@lizlocher3612]

RIP Powers Booth!!! You were an AWESOME n forceful actor n person, especially to have been married for 48 yrs to one woman!!! What a class act you were,!?!

[@SummerofKittyLove]

He was Reverend Jim Jones in that film-it was eerily spot on him.

[@curtc2194]

Let's get gone...the creepy last words of Jim Jones

[@gregggaldo9181]

The Emerald Forest.....one of my favorite movies!!!

[@danadams6477]

Oddly enough, you don't hear anything about this movie. Some good movies such as: The Emarald Forest, Band of the Hand, Almost Summer, The Deer Hunter, The Runaways ("made for TV" movie about a cheetah and a boy, not Joan Jett and Suzy Quatro), Shogun, and Against The Wind.(these last two were "made for TV" mini series) fade into obscurity, leaving us wondering if we are the only people on planet Earth that knows these movies exist, or do they exist at all. Heck, try finding Barbarella or the 1978 animated movie The Hobit?

[@docsavage-8616]

The Emerald Forest is a very underrated film. We can always track down some of these Movies on DVD.

[@lindadeisher1815]

Just brillant. Loved his movies. Sympathy to the family. ❤

[@user-ng2mt2yr1t]

Thank you for everything you did in your personal life and in your acting career may your family enjoy life and may you rest in peace

[@-.Steven]

I remember him from the TV movie, Family of Spies, where he played US Navy officer and Traitor John Walker; it was especially memorable because I enlisted in the Navy in 1984 and Walker was arrested in 1985. Hard to forget that.

[@RoseorRosieHWeinstein]

Rest in peace buddy 😢

Pan can is an awful thing. Currently, the 5 year survival rate for stage 4 is 1-3% with the 5 year rate for all stages at 13%. If you’re lucky and they catch you before it’s out of the pancreas, you have a 5 yr survival rate of 44%.

[@Hansaman58]

Great actor and born in same town my mother was.

[@docsavage-8616]

I remember he was a Good Actor. I really liked him in Rapid Fire, Extreme Prejudice, and The Emerald Forest

[@mikehoncho7252]

Long live Powers Booth!!damn good good actor!!!!!

[@sebastiandrylla]

Damm... I liked him😢😢😢

[@curtc2194]

Great underated actor!

[@someguy9471]

Probably one of the greatest actors to ever grace a stage or a screen. No one played evil like him, he had the look, the voice, the walk and talk for it. He was a great adversary for Ian Mcshane in Deadwood and an outright bastard in sin city. I was quite sad to learn of his passing, even at 68 he was gone far too soon. RIP to one of greatest actors of all time Powers Boothe

[@user-gm9cs3cp8i]

68 ! God bless

[@ramongonzalez2112]

Powers had an unforgettable role in ‘Southern Comfort.’ One of my favorite films.🎥

[@NovemberReigne]

He was a great actor , his portrayal of Jim Jones used to scare me when I was a kid in the late 70's, lol

[@dwaynecollins4974]

Curly Bill Brocious.."The Next time we come, you better step aside. I aint kidding neither."😅 RIP Powers Booth

[@petedelavega6094]

Great ACTOR

[@rogerlewis7770]

Great actor creeped me out as a kid playing Jim Jones

[@clydewalker3885]

His death was a shock😮really good actor.😢❤

[@jasonwells9050]

I love watching Powers Boothe as a kid matter of fact I did my best to speak the way he spoke with that Texas accent into this day even though I've never been to Texas people ask me what part of Texas I'm from

[@sthompson4049]

His Father named him after a buddy was killed during WW2. Powers was his last name.

[@user-ed1gy1vr5x]

Col. Andrew Tanner in Red Dawn. His acting was flawless ! RIP sir.

[@Luckylou1983]

Thank you Ed!👍🙏

[@rachaelhogan7850]

Thank you Ed, some of his info was wrong, he wasent in con air

[@ForlornFreddy]

So great. Amazing how much work he was getting towards the end. Just like Dabney Coleman.

[@dalehood1846]

He was in "Southern Comfort". It's about a group of National Guard soldiers in a Louisiana bayou. Absolutely Epic.

[@reneerichburg8023]

I've always loved this man❣️💓 He had a SOOO SEXY VOICE 💋💋💋💋 RIP😭

[@rdmck857]

Great actor. Died Way too young

[@krismckee]

[@erikadowdy2382]

RIP🙏🏻💐 Great Actir🎉

[@josephdugan4797]

Great actor. I saw him on TV as Jim Jones.

[@FERNANDOGONZALEZ-pb6re]

GAWDANG HELLOVA ACTOR!!! I first noticed him in the small part he did in William Friedkins movie with Al Pacino,his most forgotten movie titled CRUISING. He portrayed a store owner that sold colored bandanas that signified which homosexual perversion suited you. His voice was undeniable and at times menacing. There will never be another actor like him.

[@thedisabledchef2159]

Hell of an actor

[@richardwarner3705]

Glad you showed him taking a swigg of whisky from "Red Dawn". The Air Force peed them selves over that tiny scene.😆👍

[@EdCollects]

😲😃😂

[@richardwarner3705]

@@EdCollects I saw in a discussion on "Red Dawn", that the Air Force refused there cooperation for the air stike scene. Because, an Air Force man was shown taking a drink of whisky.😆

[@brendaleverick3655]

He had great screen presence.

[@shengchenfan]

Awesome in Rapid Fire.

[@phillipdavison2438]

Forgot Southern Comfort

[@EdCollects]

I didn't have time to mention everything.

[@MikeysMorgue]

He's got 2 last names. 😂

[@EdCollects]

I've never heard of anyone else having the first name of Powers. I have 2 first names for a name. It gets annoying because people call me by my last name a lot. I stopped correcting them.

[@MikeysMorgue]

@@EdCollects There’s a sweet name by me named Powers. What is your last name? Collects? 😁

[@EdCollects]

@@MikeysMorgue yes! I was born to collect! Like when I worked as a cashier for years and it said Ed and then Checker underneath. People would say I was born to work there...

[@MseeBMe]

Had no idea he had passed away. 😞

[@EdCollects]

😔👊🙏

[@sebastiandrylla]

You have forgotten a important movie with him inside, guess wich, HA?

[@timothy2030]

Was he any relation to John Wilkes Boothe ?

[@phillipdavison2438]

Wasn't really in Conair

[@EdCollects]

I think a voice-over cameo counts.

[@Lord_Hillcrest02]

Brilliant as Curly Bill .

[@tommyoliver5106]

PLAYED IN THE MOVIE SOUTHERN COMFORT WITH KEITH CARRADINE! DAMN GOOD MOVIE!

[@rachaelhogan7850]

HE WASENT IN CON AIR, NOT TO MY KNOWLEDGE YOUR WRONG.

[@EdCollects]

First of all, his voice was in it, uncredited, which means he was still in the movie, second of all, you wrote "your" wrong, it's actually supposed to be "you're" because it's a shortened way of saying you are. If you're going to accuse someone if being wrong about something, don't make yourself look foolish twice. His voice was in the movie. Look it up. I did.
