Powers Boothe, a prolific character actor on the small and big screen, died Sunday in Los Angeles. He was 68.
According to his rep, Boothe died in his sleep Sunday morning of natural causes.
The veteran actor was best known for playing snarling villains like Curly Bill Brocious in the 1993 Western Tombstone and saloon owner Cy Tolliver in HBO's "Deadwood."
He also appeared in several comic book shows and movies, portraying Senator Roark in Sin City and it's sequel Sin City: A Dame to Kill For (pictured above). He also had a small role in "The Avengers"
and Marvel's Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.
His talents weren't only limited to genre material. Boothe played former mayor Lamar Wyatt on 26 episodes of the country drama Nashville, as well as Judge Wall Hatflied on Hatfields & McCoys. Prior to that, he played Vice President Daniels on 24.
