Charles "Chas" Lawther is a British-born Canadian actor, comedian and writer.
Lawther came to local prominence in Toronto when in the 1980s he created the character of Chuck The Security Guard for CFMT-TV 's The All-Night Show , on the ostensible premise that as the station's night security he would be allowed to use the broadcast facilities to play classic television shows, short films and music videos between sign-off and 6 a.m.
Lawther and his comedy partner Suzette Couture formed the comedy duo Joined at the Hip, regularly playing comedy venues across Canada and at one point getting their own special on CBC . Lawther has written and hosted several comedy "stand-up mockumentaries" on CBC Radio .[1]
He also wrote episodes for television shows including Bob and Margaret , The Raccoons and The All-Night Show and the direct to video film The Sex and Violence Family Hour . He also created a television movie documentary film called Is It Arf? in which he hosted and starred with his wife Gail Kerbel.
Many know him for his role hosting "The Showcase Revue " after the Showcase channel launched in Canada in the early 1990s.
Lawther is still a working actor, and was a recurring character as a seemingly gormless television executive on CBC's Made in Canada .
