ADD TRIVIA
- In reviewing The Final Season, the Minneapolis Star- Tribune wrote: "Only Powers Boothe dares to play against the grain, with a gruff, intimidating turn as Norway's departing coach. Too many sports movies forget that part of a great coach's motivational skill is the ability to be scary. [Sean] Astin is always a welcome presence onscreen, but the glowering Boothe knocks it out of the park."

- Powers Boothe: (why his Deadwood character smokes cigars) The cigar just gives me room to express [Cy's] feelings. From contemplation to contempt. On set the first day, they divided up the cast and crew between smokers and nonsmokers, and I had a thought: well, hell, this character has to do something. Let him smoke cigars.

- Powers Boothe: (Describing his 24 character) I don't think he's misguided at all. You had a nuke go off in [California], and people are sitting around wringing their hands. He feels like he has to do something. Rather than having an agenda, I think he feels a tremendous burden to save the country, no matter what it takes.

- Powers Boothe: (when asked by IGN about Deadwood's cancellation) Just on the business side, we had the second highest numbers [on HBO] to Sopranos, we had excellent foreign sales, excellent DVD sales...a critical hit, an artistic hit...what do you want? So I don't know what happened.
