Alan Thicke, the Canadian actor, singer and songwriter best remembered for his portrayal of the ultimate suburban middlebrow dispenser of parental advice on the sitcom “Growing Pains,” died on Tuesday in Burbank, Calif. He was 69.
加拿大演员、唱作人艾伦•西克(Alan Thicke)于周三在加利福尼亚州伯班克去世，享年69岁。他留给世人最深刻的记忆，是在情景喜剧《成长的烦恼》(Growing Pains)中扮演的那名普普通通，总是给孩子们提供各种建议的中产阶级老爸。
Mr. Thicke was playing hockey with his 19-year-old son, Carter, when he had a heart attack, his ex-wife Gloria Loring said. She added, “He died the way any good Canadian should — playing hockey with his son.”
他的前妻格洛丽亚•洛林(Gloria Loring)说，他在和19岁的儿子卡特(Carter)玩曲棍球的时候突发心脏病。她还表示，“他以真正的加拿大人特有的方式离去——和儿子一起玩曲棍球。”
Mr. Thicke projected a genial warmth across all his television work, most memorably on “Growing Pains,” which ran from 1985 to 1992 on ABC. His character, Dr. Jason Seaver, a psychiatrist, was a classic 1980s formulation of the reassuring father who solved everyone’s problems with a warm homily by the end of each 30-minute episode. The cast also included Joanna Kerns as his wife and Kirk Cameron as his oldest child.
西克在他的所有电视作品中扮演的都是和蔼暖心的角色，在《成长的烦恼》中的表演尤为令人难忘，该剧由ABC播放，从1985年一直播到了1992年。他在剧中扮演的心理医生杰森•西佛(Jason Seaver)，是上世纪80年代的那种典型的可靠老爸，会在历时30分钟的每一集电视剧结尾，以暖心的说教解决每个人的问题。
The role earned Mr. Thicke the nickname America’s Dad. His character was ranked No. 37 on TV Guide’s list of the “50 Greatest TV Dads of All Time.”

He was nominated for Primetime Emmy Awards and for a Golden Globe Award in 1988 for Best Performance by an Actor in a Comedy/Musical series for “Growing Pains.” He was also nominated for a Daytime Emmy in 1998 for Outstanding Audience Participation/Game Show for “Pictionary.”
