Chris Gauthier, of Once Upon a Time and Eureka, Dead at 48
He was not on the list.
Chris Gauthier, an English-born Canadian actor whose wide variety of TV credits included Once Upon a Time (as Smee) and Eureka, died on Feb. 23, at age 48.
“We can confirm that our dear friend and client, Chris Gauthier, passed away on Friday morning, February 23, at the age of 48,” reads a statement from TriStar Appearances/Event Horizon Talent to TVLine. “As a beloved Vancouver-based character actor, Chris shared his talents with so many of us both on television and in film. His loss is felt not just by his fans but by those of us who were lucky enough to know him more personally. On behalf of his family, we do ask for privacy during this time so that they are able to grieve properly.”
Gauthier “passed suddenly and unexpectedly following a short illness,” his manager told TVLine.
“Rest in Peace Chris! Heartbroken!” wrote Colin O’Donoghue aka Once Upon a Time‘s Hook, William Smee’s captain, on Instagram. “My love and thoughts go out to [wife] Erin and the boys! You will be missed brother! You were the real captain!!”
Added OUAT co-showrunner Adam Horowitz via X, “So sad to hear of the passing of Chris Gauthier. Such a kind, sweet, and talented person. You will be missed.”
Gauthier’s TV roles also included Supernatural (as the paranoid shapeshifter-hunting Ronald Reznick), Harper’s Island, Sanctuary, Smallville (where he had an arc as Winslow Schott aka Toyman), A Series of Unfortunate Events, Legends of Tomorrow (as Henry VIII), The CW’s Charmed reboot and, most recently, Joe Pickett (where in Season 2 he played Wyoming Fish & Game Department commish Randy Pope).
“Another good man gone too soon,” said Harper’s Island star Christopher Gorham. “Grateful to have worked with Chris and am sending love to his family and friends. Rest in peace, pal.”
Gauthier’s film credits included 40 Days and 40 Nights, Agent Cody Banks and Freddy vs. Jason.
