Rest In Peace, Powers Boothe

[calliopes_pen]

Powers Boothe has passed away at the age of 68; he died in his sleep from natural causes. May he rest in peace. I caught him in a couple episodes of Agents of SHIELD as Gideon Malick when I was still watching it from time to time. I think I primarily remember him as the voice of Gorilla Grodd in Justice League Unlimited.

Sad... I only just learned that Geoffrey Bayldon (Catweazle) died last week, which hurt the ten year old that I still am. At least we can watch them on TV...

I was going to say I had never heard of him, but then I checked his IMDB page. He was in several horror films that I absolutely loved as a kid when I stumbled upon them in video stores. The Monster Club (1981). Tales From The Crypt (1972). The House That Dripped Blood (1971) and Horror of Dracula (1958).

I'll have to rewatch those last two. I thought I had already seen Frankenstein Must Be Destroyed (1969), but after reading the summary, apparently not. I'll have to do so at some point.

I vaguely recall seeing The House That Dripped Blood (is that not a fabulous title? :) many years ago - must rewatch at some point.
