"I've just pissed in my pants... and nobody can do anything about it."

Jul 27, 4:36 PM EDT

Canadian actor Maury Chaykin died early Tuesday morning--the day of his birthday, the Associated Press reports. His manager, Paul Hemrend, said the longtime character actor died at a Toronto hospital with family surrounding him.

Mark McKinney, a producer on Chyakin's most recent HBO Canada series, said the actor died following kidney problems.

I don't think I am familiar with his work. All the same, I hope he didn't suffer. Rest in peace.

Aw, and I just saw Dances with Wolves for the first time not too long ago. I loved him in it.

Rest in peace, Mr. Chaykin.

He's another one of those character actors that you've seen in tons of stuff over the years and go "Hey, it's the guy from ________!"

My outlook on life - we’re all on the Hindenburg anyway…no point fighting over the window seat.

One of my favorite quotes from one of my favorite movies.

John Gibbons: Mr. Tipton, I see you wear glasses.
Mr. Tipton: Yes I do.
John Gibbons: Could you show those glasses to the court, please? Okay, now were you wearing them that day?
Mr. Tipton: No.
John Gibbons: Uh huh. You see? You were fifty feet away, you made a positive eyewitness identification and-and-and-and-and-and-and YET, you were not wearing your necessary, prescription eye glasses.
Mr. Tipton: They're reading glasses.

RIP.

I am quite familiar with some of his work, and he always did a wonderful job.

"The other versions will disappear. Even the 35 million tapes of Star Wars out there won’t last more than 30 or 40 years. A hundred years from now, the only version of the movie that anyone will remember will be the DVD version [of the Special Edition], and you’ll be able to project it on a 20’ by 40’ screen with perfect quality. I think it’s the director’s prerogative, not the studio’s to go back and reinvent a movie." - George Lucas

Sci-fi fans will remember two of Mr. Chaykin's most visible roles: Matthew Broderick's hacker friend ("Mr. Potato Head... Mr. Potato Head!!!") in WarGames, and the Goa'uld Nereus (the one working for Ba'al; he had a bottomless appetite) in several episodes of Stargate SG-1's final seasons.

Was WarGames a Sci-fi movie?

^A speculative piece of technology and the ramifications of it's deployment is the basis of the story (strictly speaking Clint's Firefox was also Science Fiction).

I really love the movie "Mouse Hunt". The scenes with him are priceless. Especially how he says "TEN MILLIONS!!!"

You're not required to, but that makes no difference to the fact that it's classified as sci-fi (if only barely). Acceptance not required, you will not be assimilated. :-)

You are right, I'm not required to agree. Neither is IMDB, which calls it a Drama/Thriller.

Even Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind is sci-fi, so I can certainly see WarGames being put in the same label.

Not that that is going to stop you from dreaming… Only in this case, Gaffer is actually a guy.

We'll agree to disagree, then. Peace, m'friend.
