The acting world lost prolific character actor Maury Chaykin, who died on his 61st birthday early Tuesday morning. He was reportedly battling kidney problems.

Most recently, Chaykin was known for his sendup of Harvey Weinstein (actually named Harvey Weingard) on HBO’s “Entourage,” which also features appearances by Canadian actress Emmanuelle Chriqui.

But Chaykin’s career spanned decades and included more than 120 credits, including “Dances With Wolves” and a documentary film I’ll admit I haven’t seen but is now my favorite movie title of all time, “Canada’s Sweetheart: The Saga of Hal C. Banks.”
