    What, no one's going to post, "Well...........bye"?

    In any case, only 68 years old. Not a young pup but not very long-lived either.

    I guess people we're trying to be respectful (feels unlikely) or maybe they didn't realize that was him in the meme (more likely).

    It was the rare chance for ultra meta meme usage.

    My mom dated him in college. When my younger brother was about 25, she admitted to my dad that she named him after one of her ex-bf's back in the day..."I just really liked that name". I regularly remind my bro he could have been named "Powers" if....

    No disrespect intended. I enjoyed him as an actor, and that is one of the best meme's ever. I knew as soon I saw the tweet about his death that I was going to post that.

    I was always a big fan of his, really sad to hear about him passing. RIP

    Him and Bill Paxton passing in the same year is a double whammy for Tombstone fans, somebody needs to go and make sure Sam Elliot is doing alright.....

    Man, S.H.I.E.L.D. has had a bad run.
    Ron Glass, Bill Paxton, and now Powers Boothe.

    Another movie I liked him alot in..."Dawn's Early Light". But, man, his work playing Jim Jones is unforgettable. I couldn't imagine anyone else in that role.

    Such a great actor and presence. He will be missed. A personal favorite of mine and many of us I imagine. He went to soon. RIP
