Canadian actor Brent Carver, seen in London as Molina in 'Kiss of the Spider Woman' at the Shaftesbury - and with a remarkable list of stage credits elsewhere, particularly at the Stratford Festival - died today at the age of 68 at his home in Cranbrook, BC.
Very, very sad, and far too young. 68 is no age at all these days.
He gave three of the finest stage performances I've ever seen - yes, Spider Woman at the Shaftesbury, but then as Leo Frank in Parade at Lincoln Center in 1999, and as the title character in Richard Ouzounian and Marek Norman's adaptation of Carol Shields' novel Larry's Party at CanStage in Toronto.
