American born, Canadian raised character actor Maury Chaykin passed away early Tuesday morning in a Toronto hospital on his 61st birthday following kidney problems.
The Internet Movie Database lists Maury as having played 153 different roles, and his most notable include HBO’s ‘Entourage’, ‘Dances With Wolves,’ ‘A Life Less Ordinary,’ ‘Mystery, Alaska,’ ‘My Cousin Vinny’ and ‘The Mask of Zorro.’ Most of his roles were small character roles, but he did star in a few productions including ‘The Golden Spiders: A Nero Wolfe Mystery’ and ‘Whale Music’. He won a Best Actor Genie for the latter role.
He is survived by his wife Susanna and his daughter Rose.
