You may not know the name, but you know the face. He was the crazy officer who wet himself at the beginning of Dances With Wolves. I knew him best from Wargames. "Mr. Potato Head. Mr. Potato Head! Backdoors are *not* secrets!"

He had so many memorable film roles. A personal favorite was in My Cousin Vinnie. He's the first witness Vinnie destroys -- the one who says he must be "a fast cook", leading Vinnie to ask:


Are we to believe that boiling water soaks into a grit faster in your kitchen than anywhere else on the face of the earth?

His wordless reactions alone during both the direct and cross-examination were the stuff of great acting.

Mr. Chaykin was a character actor extraordinaire. Sad news indeed.

I loved this guy as Harvey Weingard on Entourage. Great character from a great character actor. You'll be missed.
