Pretty much the same article:
www.yahoo.com/tv/powers-boothe-emmy-winning-character-actor-dead-68-021733028.html

But a quick look at the comments finds a decent number of people saying what I was thinking when I read it - "Natural Causes" at 68? I didn't think the term "Natural Causes" was even being used anymore, and he was way too young for it to be used here.

I've always assumed that 'Natural Causes' referred to genetic, or atleast inevitable, causes as well as problems stemmed from aging in that they were internal conditions not caused by an outside factor such as a complication from a medication.

And I think that they may still use the term if another more specific cause couldn't be listed.

I could be 100 percent wrong about both of these though.

lol, I keep hearing one of this roles was in the Avengers. That was such a small part. He had a larger role playing the same character in AoS.

His best role was either Curly Bill in ~~Deadwood~~ Tombstone, or Cy Tolliver in Deadwood. Man, he played such a dick in Deadwood. (One of my favorite shows...)

Last Edit: May 15, 2017 17:13:11 GMT by backroadjunkie: Wrong movie. :)

I loved watching him in AoS and many other projects. Rest In Peace.

Absolutely loved him as Cy in Deadwood!

Jemma Simmons: Right? I always think the same thing when I see a movie that was adapted from source material but has been changed so much that it's unrecognizable. Nov 24, 2024 23:08:46 GMT

ayanami: I gotta admit that "World War Z" is an incredibly cool name, but still, seems a bit pricey if you're just gonna ignore the whole rest of the novel.

ayanami: The book sounds really cool btw. It's about one guy 10 years after the zombie outbreak gathering different perspectives from a bunch of survivors, so you have like a dozen different stories/settings in the novel. Plus, the author is actually Mel Brooks'... Nov 24, 2024 23:12:58 GMT
