Hail Spydra!  :'(

Incidentally, he was also the voice of Grodd in the DCAU, so a major villain role there even before he moved to Marvel. (Although in the Avengers movie he wasn't really a "villain" yet, just an oversight committee member. His character wasn't revealed as a Hydra cult leader until Shield's 3rd season.)

Me too.  Red Dawn and his bad guy Hydra role in Agents of Shield are where I remember him most from.  RIP Powers...

RIP Powers. We will miss you.


Booth played a great Rev. Jim Jones in 'Guyana Tragedy'. He was also one of the co-stars (along with Keith Carradine) of an underrated movie called 'Southern Comfort'. Fun fact- the guy who wrote the script for 'Southern Comfort' also wrote the final one for 'The Warriors', and yes, there are a few similarities.
