Geocache Description:


Eight Hundred FortyFifth in the Famous People (FP) Series - Powers Booth


Powers Allen Boothe (born June 1, 1948) is an American television and film actor. He is perhaps best known for his 1980 Emmy-winning portrayal of Jim Jones. He is the father of actress Parisse Boothe. Boothe was born in Snyder, Texas, to Merrill Vestal Boothe and Emily Kathryn Reeves. He attended Texas State University-San Marcos (then Southwest Texas State College) as an undergraduate and received his Master of Fine Arts from Southern Methodist University in 1972.

His New York stage debut was in the 1974 Lincoln Center production of Richard III. Five years later, his Broadway theater debut came in a starring role in the one-act play Lone Star, written by James McLure. Boothe first came to national attention in 1980, playing Jim Jones in the CBS-TV movie Guyana Tragedy: The Story of Jim Jones. Boothe's portrayal of the crazed cult leader received critical acclaim.

Boothe won the Emmy Award for his role, beating out veterans Henry Fonda and Jason Robards. During the Screen Actors Guild strike in the fall of 1980, he was one of the few who showed up at the ceremonies to claim their prizes. He said at the time, "This may be either the bravest moment of my career or the dumbest."

Boothe joined the ranks of Humphrey Bogart and other actors when he portrayed Philip Marlowe in a series of short films for HBO in the 1980s. He gave several fine performances in films like Southern Comfort, A Breed Apart, Red Dawn, The Emerald Forest, Oliver Stone's Nixon (where he played Chief of Staff Alexander Haig), U-Turn, and Extreme Prejudice, as well as HBO films like Into The Homeland and By Dawn's Early Light. However, his most lauded subsequent performance was in the 1990 CBS-TV film Family of Spies, in which he played traitor Navy Officer John Walker. Boothe also portrayed Curly Bill Brocius in Tombstone, as well as the disloyal senior Army officer in Blue Sky (opposite Jessica Lange's Oscar-winning performance).

In 2001, he starred as Flavius Aëtius, the Roman general in charge of stopping the Hun invasion in the made-for-TV mini-series Attila, which critics and fans of the actor consider to be an excellent performance.

Most recently, Boothe has played a featured role as brothel-owner Cy Tolliver on the HBO series Deadwood, and the seedy Senator Roark in the motion picture Sin City. He is the voice of one of the characters in the 2005 video game Area 51 and Gorilla Grodd, the hyper-intelligent telepathic supervillain in Justice League and Justice League Unlimited.

He has joined the cast of the popular TV show 24, in which he will play the Vice-President in the show's sixth season.
