RIP Maury Chaykin

I just read that Maury Chaykin passed away this morning. A versatile actor I know him best from his staring role as Nero Wolfe although he's also been in numerous other things (including the pilot episode of "Eureka"). He shall be missed.

NOOOOOO!!!!! He also did a great guest bit on Due South and don't forget his psycho-Cavalry guy in Dances With Wolves. So sad. :(

I had forgotten all about his 'Dances with Wolves' role, he really did a number of great roles throughout his career!

Oh, that's very sad. :( I knew him best from Nero Wolfe as well, but he was one of those 'hey, it's that guy!' actors that was in everything. He seems too young to die of natural causes, but the article doesn't say if he was sick or not. Pfui!

He'd been in just so many things. He'll be missed :(

That's too bad.
