==Career==
Chaykin was known for portrayals of blustery supporting characters. One of his rare leading roles was [[Nero Wolfe]]. Chaykin first played the legendary detective in ''[[The Golden Spiders: A Nero Wolfe Mystery]]'' (2000), an [[A&E Network|A&E]] telefilm adaptation of the 1953 novel by [[Rex Stout]].
Two of Chaykin's early motion picture roles brought him public recognition: computer programmer Jim Sting in ''[[WarGames]]'' and prosecution witness Sam Tipton in ''[[My Cousin Vinny]]''. In 1990, he had a small but pivotal role in the film ''[[Dances with Wolves]]'', portraying Major Fambrough, an Army fort commander who kills himself as a result of becoming insane.{{citation needed|date= October 2022}}
Line 42 ⟶ 45:
Chaykin also had roles on the television series ''[[Seeing Things (TV series)|Seeing Things]]'' and ''[[Emily of New Moon (TV series)|Emily of New Moon]]'' as well as a recurring role as the intergalactic gourmand [[Nerus (Stargate)|Nerus]] (a nod to Nero Wolfe)<ref>Zekas, Rita, "That's a Maury," ''Toronto Star'', February 19, 2006. "I've been playing a character called Nerus on a few episodes of ''Stargate SG-1''", Chaykin told the columnist. "The creator of the show is a big fan of Nero Wolfe. Nerus is a gourmand from a different planet."</ref> in ''[[Stargate SG-1]]''.
Chaykin portrayed the colorful bookie Frank Perlin opposite [[Philip Seymour Hoffman]]'s [[gambling addiction|compulsive gambler]] Dan Mahowny in ''[[Owning Mahowny]]'', a film that critic [[Roger Ebert]] named as one of the ten best of 2003. In 2006, Chaykin appeared in an episode of the [[Ken Finkleman]] miniseries ''[[At the Hotel]]'' and received a [[Gemini Award]] for best performance by an actor in a guest role. He had a semi-recurring role in the [[HBO]] series ''[[Entourage (U.S. TV series)|Entourage]]'', as volatile movie producer
Chaykin starred as Sam Blecher, the owner of a family-run driving school in Winnipeg, in the first two seasons (2008–2010) of the Canadian comedy-drama television series ''[[Less Than Kind]]''. The series received the [[2010 Gemini Awards|2010 Gemini Award]] for Best Comedy Program or Series.<ref>[
"Sam is an out-of-control, good-hearted, big-hearted person who just can't quite get it right with his family," Chaykin told ''[[Q (radio show)|Q]]'' radio interviewer [[Jian Ghomeshi]] in April 2010. "He's full of love but he can't express it. But what he does express is anxiety, desperation, and the need to dominate, which is kind of pathetic." Asked whether he liked the character, Chaykin replied, "I ''love'' him. I do, I really do, and it's the same kind of love that a person has for family — where you see their foibles but at the same time you embrace them because they are a part of you. And Sam certainly is a part of me."<ref>{{YouTube|dFepmublO0s|"Maury Chaykin on Q TV"}}; CBC ''[[Q (radio show)|Q]]'' video interview by [[Jian Ghomeshi]], posted April 28, 2010</ref>
In 2011, Chaykin posthumously received the [[ACTRA]] Toronto Award for Outstanding Performance — Male for his performance as Sam Blecher in ''Less Than Kind''. He had been nominated for the award in 2003, for his portrayal of Nero Wolfe.{{citation needed|date= October 2022}}
== Personal life ==
Chaykin's first marriage, to Canadian producer Ilana Frank, ended in divorce.<ref>[https://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2010/07/27/AR2010072705876.html "Award-winning actor was TV's 'Nero Wolfe'"];''[[The Washington Post]]'', July 28, 2010. Posner, Michael, "Obituaries; Maury Alan Chaykin, 61." ''[[The Globe and Mail]]'', July 31, 2010</ref> He was subsequently married to Canadian actress Susannah Hoffmann, with whom he had one daughter, Rose. Best known for having played Jen Pringle in the ''[[Anne of Avonlea (1987 film)|Anne of Avonlea]]'' series, Hoffmann had a supporting role in a [[Immune to Murder#A Nero Wolfe Mystery (A&E Network)|2002 episode]] of the television series ''[[A Nero Wolfe Mystery]]'', in which Chaykin starred.{{citation needed|date= October 2022}}
Chaykin was a dual citizen of the United States and Canada.<ref name="nyt" />
== Critical appraisal ==
Writing for the [[Toronto International Film Festival]], [[Brian D. Johnson]] summarized Chaykin's screen persona as "[bringing] an unnerving edge to whatever character he plays, a disturbing sense of dissociation. But while all his roles are weird, each is weird in its own way. Modifying his signature from one role to the next, Chaykin gives the impression of creating the character as the camera rolls."<ref name=":02">{{Cite web |title=Canadian Film Encyclopedia - Maury Chaykin |url=https://cfe.tiff.net/canadianfilmencyclopedia/content/bios/maury-chaykin |access-date=2022-10-25 |website=cfe.tiff.net}}</ref>
Bruce Weber of ''[[The New York Times]]'' posthumously described Chaykin as "a ubiquitous character actor who specialized in comic roles with disturbing undertones and disturbing roles with comic undertones."<ref>{{Cite news |last=Weber |first=Bruce |date=2010-07-29 |title=Maury Chaykin, Character Actor, Dies at 61 |url=https://www.nytimes.com/2010/07/29/arts/29chaykin.html |access-date=2022-10-25 |work=The New York Times |language=en-US |issn=0362-4331}}</ref>
