Canadian actor Maury Chaykin passed away today at age 61. He was memorable in Due South episodes as the crazy-driving agent in Spy vs. Spy and as the sweatshop owner in Mojo Rising, as well as appearing in other 6 Degrees classics such as Buried on Sunday, Whale Music (for which he won a Genie), and Wilby Wonderful.

It's very sad news. He was delight in everything he did, no matter how cheesy the script.

So true! He just threw himself into everything he did. He could do subtle and deep, but if cheese was what was up, he totally had fun with it! <3

I loved him in Spy vs. Spy, driving rabidly and setting his hat on fire. Good times, good times.

He fit perfectly in with that deadpan absurdity of Due South.
