Tony Award-winning Canadian stage actor Brent Carver dies at 68

Longtime friend Janice Thomson shared a statement on behalf of Carver's family announcing that he died Tuesday in his birthplace of Cranbrook, B.C., -- his favourite place on earth.His family says it was a proud moment when he won the Governor General's Performing Arts Award for Lifetime Artistic Achievement in 2014.

"Blessed with many talents and a natural love of theatre, Brent was always known as a first-class performer, unique in the presentation of his craft, delighting audiences through film, TV, stage and concert performances," the family statement said."His love of performing was matched only by his zest for life and lifetime devotion to family, friends and treasured pets," the Carver family said.

The Stratford Festival, in which Carver performed for nine seasons, said it was devastated by the news. Carver performed alongside Christopher Plummer in the festival's New York production of "King Lear" in 2004."He was singular: an original in every sense," Cimolino said. "And yet his heart was so big it encompassed us all and made us one."
