Maury Chaykin, RIP @ Satellite NewsTORONTO — Veteran character actor Maury Chaykin, died here today, his 61st birthday. The award-winning performer, who had dual citizenship in Canada and the U.S., was noted for his roles in “Dances with Wolves,” “The Sweet Hereafter,” “Blindness,” “A Life Less Ordinary” and many other films. No cause of death was confirmed, but Chaykin had been battling kidney problems. MSTies will recall him as sinister Novacorp executive Gondol in episode 822- OVERDRAWN AT THE MEMORY BANK.

RIP Maury, he was one of those character actors, where I said oh I like that guy every time he appeared on screen. He was in two of my favorite series MST3K # 822 of course and the Canadian Cable series Trailer Park Boys.. RIP sir you will be missed.
I would like to add that he was the guy in Wargames that hit Eddie Deezen in the back of the head in the software store. Calling him Mr Potato Head. Which makes him alright in my book ;D

I liked his performances. He was great in Unstrung Heroes and in other roles like My Cousin Vinny. He could blend in so well. His turn in Dances With Wolves was odd but captivating. And I'm really interested to see him in The Drunk and On Drugs Happy Fun Time Hour, an upcoming show from the makers of Trailer Park Boys.
Rest well, sir.
