Well...bye

[oldpink]

I couldn't see any threads about it, so I'm putting up one of my own, and no, the thread title is not meant at all as disrespectful, only a tribute from one of our favorite movies transferred over to one of our favorite memes.

Powers Boothe, actor in "Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D," dies at 68 - CNN.com

Adios to a great actor we all will remember playing Curly Bill Brocius, but I still remember him best as Lt. Colonel Andy Tanner in the original "Red Dawn."

Sorry to hear that. RIP.

The last time we saw him he was getting up in age. Sad to see the Lt. Colonel pass.

RIP

First film I remember seeing him in...RIP sir...

 

[ArcadiaGP]

Great role in Deadwood, sorry to hear he's passed

 

[Dino Bravo]

I remember him more as Curly Bill and "bye!" Is one of my favorite movie lines. RIP

 

[Super Bee]

Great role in Deadwood, sorry to hear he's passed

I hope they just write his character out of the upcoming Deadwood movies instead of re-casting him.

RIP. I enjoyed many of his portrayals. Married for 47 years. That accomplishment in Hollywood may eclipse his acting credentials. Donations to the Gary Sinese Foundation to be made in his memory. That says a lot about the kind of person he was. Looks like he never really lost his roots.

Five on one, and he got four.

Given the popularity of the 'Well...bye" meme, I'm sure he's looking down thinking that's pretty damn funny and a fitting tribute. I remember him in lesser known roles like Mace Ryan (what an awesome name) from "Rapid Fire" with Brandon Lee and Capt. Pullman in "Men of Honor."

Reading his bio, that was the exact same thought I had.
He married his college sweetheart clear back in 1969 and stayed married, having two kids, then died in his sleep at 68.
Most of us would prefer to make it up to at least well into a late seven bills, but that's about the best way to live a life and go when that time finally comes.

He had a good role in Agents of SHIELD, too. Played that character very very well.
