I think I remember Maury first from Matthew Broderick's WarGames and I remember him last from Stargate SG-1.

Actor Maury Chaykin dies on 61st birthday

TORONTO - Gemini and Genie Award-winning Canadian actor Maury Chaykin has died at age 61.

His passing was confirmed by fellow actor Mark McKinney, a producer of the HBO Canada series "Less Than Kind," in which Chaykin had a reoccurring role.

Chaykin was born in New York to an American father and a Canadian mother before later moving to Toronto.

While Chaykin was perhaps best-known for his role in the 1994 hit "Whale Music," his extensive resume spanned 35 years. He's often remembered for a role in "Dances with Wolves," and also performed parts in a number of major American shows in recent years, including "Entourage," "C.S.I.," and "Boston Legal."

Sad indeed. He was a terrific character actor.
My favourite performance was in 2004's "Sugar" as Stanley, the meek and bumbling John.

Sad news.

I didn't recognize his name at first, but as soon as I saw the photo I thought of Dancing With Wolves. I like his character on Entourage as well.

I loved his work in the A&E series "Nero Wolfe".

May he rest in peace

I loved his work in the A&E series "Nero Wolfe

I enjoyed that series as well. That was back when A&E was both Artistic and Entertaining.

(By the way, that's Nero in the photo I posted above.)
