Les was the Ottawa area acting legend who was best known for playing all of the male adult roles on the popular CJOH/Nickelodeon sketch series "You Can't Do That on Television"

I'll never forget spending many an afternoon watching the likes of Ross the director, The Firing Squad Captain and of course Barf the Chef ("Dah, I heard that!") acting as comic foil to the ever changing cast of wild and crazy child actors.

Les, you shall be missed.

Aww nuts!

I always remembered that guy's face freaking me right the hell out whenever I watched the intro to "You Can't Do That on Television"... Don't ask why, it just did.

Very sad indeed. I'm not real familiar with him, but I have seen "You Can't do That on Television" a time or two. RIP Mr. Lye.

I remembered him. He was great on YCDTOT. Rest in Peace, Les Lye.
