Lazy Sunday # 240: Add 7.5 Minutes To Your Life. What a joy to read. I am a long time US fan of Winston Rekert. I've been looking for articles to tell me about the man, and there was so little there.
Maybe that’s the way the world (or at least Canada) works when it comes to TV from more than a decade ago. And then I stumbled on this. He will be missed. He was funny and smart, self-deprecating, self-aware and clearly focussed on disappearing into the character of a formidable espionage agent who had lost the use of one hand and was now relegated to the very lowest level of the spy game.
A decent man. The minute a viewer’s eyes fall on such an actor s/he feels at home, ushered safely through the narrative and compelled to watch. Yet despite these accomplishments, the seismic creative jolt he gave the industry and all he accomplished in the world of charity, Win’s passing didn’t make the news much beyond his hometown. [1][3][4] Rekert also worked on the series as a writer, director and producer. Boost Birthday July Jul 10, 1949.
In that first meeting, I took an immediate liking to Winston and walked away knowing we had a lead who would make the long hours of writing worthwhile.
Winston would go on to win a second Gemini in 2003 for a guest role on “Blue Murder” and was nominated on nine other occasions.
We were blessed to have him here with us and to think the country hasn't even been made aware he's left us saddens me. The other, after seeing his picture online, immediately recognized his face. Today, the Ottawa Citizen followed suit.

It’s of another time and another world, so forgive it that. He was 1 of 4 actors from English Canada; 6 in the top-ten category were from Québec. I then watched three more episodes… the first three of the first season. Instead of complaining, he used that time to ramp up the make-up and hair crew for their day, making his arrival so high energy that we discovered others of the crew were coming in an hour or two early to join in the fun while getting a little ahead on what they had to accomplish in their day.
Something I want to amend about my comment. I didn’t know him, but knew of him when he was cast.

That shocks me.
Birth name Here is all you want to know, and more! A face the screen loved.

I can't remember which show I've seen Winston Rekert before, but I know I have, because that face- its warmth- is hard to forget.
