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 has worked with his daughter, Parisse Boothe, on Deadwood and in The Final Season.

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.
(edit)
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.
(edit)
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.
(edit)
Powers Boothe: (describing accepting his Emmy during the SAG strike to Smoke magazine) It was not an official union deal, but a boycott. Well, I killed myself to do that part, and I couldn't believe it when I was nominated-and I never thought I'd win. Anyway, I always thought the Emmys were a celebration of actors, not political, so I didn't intend to offend anyone when I decided to accept.
(edit)
Powers Boothe: (asked by TV Guide about his inspiration for Vice President Daniels on 24) I think I'm pretty politically informed and I find myself watching Senate hearings on C-SPAN. But I don't know if there's any particular individual. I was raised a Democrat and now I'm an Independent. I wasn't interested in playing a zealot. The sanctity of the office is what's more important to me.
