He studied acting at the State University of New York in Buffalo, where he founded the avant-garde Swamp Fox Theater Group, appearing uninvited at the Festival of Underground Theatre in Toronto, making a strong impression on the festival's artistic director. In 1974, when Chaykin was a struggling young actor working off-Broadway, Gass invited him to Toronto to help create ''Hurray for Johnny Canuck'', his stage adaptation of the wartime comic book. Chaykin's performance in the play led to job offers from both sides of the border, and he was invited to perform in the New York Shakespeare Festival's Public Theater production of ''Leave It to Beaver Is Dead'' with Creator/MandyPatinkin and Creator/DianneWiest. He quickly became one of Canada's most respected and versatile character actors, accruing a total of 120 film and TV credits.
