NBC Nightly News - on the Death of Darren McGavin, Feb. 2006

[83226505]

Nicely done. One of my favourite shows as a kid. The Night Stalker. It frightened the crap out of me.

NOBODY could have played the part of the father

in "The Christmas Story" better than Darren McGavin.

No.....Body!

Darren...you became immortal, because of that part

and because you were such a fabulous character actor.

[teedeeiss]

@frickadele - AMEN to your words. I totally agree!!! My kids & I absolutely LOVE "A Christmas Story". We watch it religiously ever year when they do a marathon of showing it back to back. We watch "Xmas Story" & "How the Grinch Stole Xmas" over & over. 3:54 am 12-6-11

Rest in Peace Mr. McGavin, thanks so much for the performances.

He was also in Billy Madison as the Dad to Adam Sandler, he was pretty funny in that movie too!!!

[Cavillier1970]

Man I can't believe it's been 4 years already. Whats funny is he died the same time Don Knotts died too. And they co starred in a Disney movie, No Deposit No Return.

Loved Darren sooo much. Especially on The Night Stalker movies and series.  He always created memorable characters and will be missed. RIP Kolchak.
