Gordon Pinsent, an award-winning Canadian actor acclaimed for his performance as a heartbroken husband in the film “Away From Her,” died Feb. 25 at 92.
Mr. Pinsent worked for decades in radio, television and movies. In 2008, he received the Academy of Canadian Television and Cinema’s Genie Award for best actor in a leading role for “Away From Her.” He played a husband losing his wife not only to Alzheimer’s but also to another man.
He appeared on children’s shows in the early 1960s, including CBC’s “The Forest Rangers.” He later was in dozens of Canada’s top television shows, including “The Red Green Show,” and was the voice of the animated elephant King Babar on TV and in a movie. Mr. Pinsent’s own wife of more than four decades, actress Charmion King, died of emphysema some months before the mainstream release of “Away From Her,” forcing Mr. Pinsent to re-examine the film’s themes of quiet despair.“It was something I wasn’t necessarily drawing on except in the general sense of how anyone must feel at a certain time of life after spending so many years with a partner,” Mr. Pinsent said during a 2007 interview, a few weeks after King’s death.
