Boothe was known for his roles in Deadwood, Sin City, Tombstone, and most recently in the Avengers movie and Agents of SHIELD where he portrayed Gideon Malick, a key figure in Hydra who eventually turned on the organisation. His iconic voice made him a favourite choice to play such villains, and he even voiced Gorilla Grodd in the Justice League animated series.
Boothe is survived by his wife Pam, whom he’d been married to for 48 years, and their two children Parisse and Preston.
