Sad News About a ‘Night Heat’ Star
- A familiar face from TV is gone.
- Remember Scott Hylands?
- He passed away at 83.
What’s Inside
We just saw some sad news about Scott Hylands. You might know him from the classic Canadian show ‘Night Heat’. He played Detective Kevin “OB” O’Brien. That was such a cool character, right? The vibe of that show was so gritty and real, like a moody, rainy day in the city. He died on Wednesday, July 29th. He was 83 years old.
His son, Luke Hylands, shared the news. Luke is a cinematographer, which means he works with cameras and lighting for movies. He called his dad his “forever hero and best friend.” That’s really touching. Scott Hylands was more than just an actor, too. He was a husband, father, director, writer, and storyteller. A true creative soul.
Our Take
It’s always tough when someone we grew up watching leaves us. Scott Hylands brought so many characters to life, and we’ll remember him for that. Thinking of his family during this time. It makes us want to revisit some of his old work.
