I just watched Tombstone last night.

And they said the Deadwood movie script was just finished.

F***.

RIP, Mr. Boothe.

 

[squeekness]

Are we sure it's real? I've been tricked before. Neither Variety nor CNN have it up on their sites yet.

I was just watching him on Shield reruns lastnight

Maybe not... If this is reliable...

News of actor Powers Boothe’s death spread quickly earlier this week causing concern among fans across the world. However the May 2017 report has now been confirmed as a complete hoax and just the latest in a string of fake celebrity death reports. Thankfully, the actor best known for his roles in Deadwood or Joan of Arc is alive and well.

Powers Boothe Death Hoax Dismissed Since Actor Is ‘Alive And Well’

On Sunday (May 14) the actor's reps officially confirmed that Powers Boothe is not dead. “He joins the long list of celebrities who have been victimized by this hoax. He's still alive and well, stop believing what you see on the Internet,” they said.

This just gets stupid. Somone is going to die for real and then no one shows up at the funeral.

 

[squeekness]

.....and EW just posted his death on my FB feed so now it has to be true, right? They are legitimate...


It just popped up on Variety's page now as well. Sounds true now to me.

 

[Milk Tray Guy]

Now Variety are saying it is true...

Powers Boothe, a character actor on the small and big screen, died Sunday in Los Angeles. He was 68.

Boothe died in his sleep Sunday morning of natural causes, his rep tells Variety.

Edit: The Variety article does carry this supposed tweet from Beau Bridges...

“It’s with great sadness that I mourn the passing of my friend Powers Boothe. A dear friend, great actor, devoted father & husband.”

Yes, that was the first time I saw him too.

 

[squeekness]

Are you guys SURE?

Yeah, it's cropping up on multiple reliable sites now.

Man, I hate when people have to mess with actual death! What do you get out of it?

I loved that show. I'd almost forgotten about it!

 

[Ivan Drago]

I was wondering why his name sounded familiar, then I realized he voiced Gorilla Grodd in the Justice League+Unlimited cartoon. He was excellent in that role.

RIP.

I rewatched some of those just a few weeks ago and I'd forgotten that.

 

[THUNDERSTRIKE]

aw damn, not Powers Boothe... he was a really great actor that knew how to project that air of menace... the last thing I saw him on was Agents of SHIELD, but I'll remember him more for Deadwood...

RIP Powers Boothe

 

[RacerX]

68 is quite young really,so sad.

 

[Roose Bolton]

****ing hell. Great, great actor who gave us one of best performances in the character of Sy Tolliver. Rest in Peace.

It is getting ridiculous that first we have fake celebrity deaths and now we have fake celebrity not-dead hoaxes.

 

[Drizzle]

I really liked his work in Tombstone, Sin City and Agents of SHIELD. RIP Powers Boothe

 

[NewYorkSpider]

I loved him in 24 and Agents Of Shield. Played that villain role with a unique style.

RIP.
