Character actor Maury Chaykin passes away on his birthday, in Toronto, at age 61.
- Read his obituary at CBC News.
Bye-Bye, 'That Guy'...
It was a pleasure to have drawn a bead on you over the course of many years and many memorable film and TV roles.
Your performances were so often beautifully larger-than-life,
even if the part was small.
- - Or perhaps, especially.
So sorry to see it cut short. Darn.

Loved the big man as Nero Wolf and many other memorable rolls in perhaps not necessarily memorable films and shows. It's a shame he's gone. As you say: darn.
sorry: "roles" :) Maybe some kind of Freudian slip...
This is sad to hear. I've really enjoyed his part in "Less Than Kind" - one of the best shows to come out of the Great White North recently. Sad.
I was bummed when I heard the news. Too young. He was always so peculiar and interesting in the best possible way.
Very Sad...may he rest in PEACE
I popped into your blog looking for some old Dave Dudley albums.Then I find some Lainie Kazan albums.I have wandered around your very interesting blog.
I remember seeing Maury on stage back in the day.Maury ... RIP.
