Sad to see one of the best heavies in show business passing away. Even when Powers didn’t play the villain (Red Dawn, Southern Comfort) he still had a menacing tone and air about him. I first noticed him in the odd movie Southern Comfort on HBO as one of the surviving national guardsman trying to escape vengeful Cajuns. Two of my favorite roles with him were the voice of Gorilla Grodd in Justice League Unlimited and Curly Bill in Tombstone. For people in my generation, whenever Powers showed up, you knew that threats were going to be followed through.
Thanks for the villains and tough guys!
