No More Maury Chaykin (1949 - 2010)

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.

Maury Chaykin at Wikipedia and IMDb.

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.
