Darren McGavin
To some, he's the dad in "A Christmas Story." To some he's "Kolchak: The Night Stalker." Others know him as Arthur Dales, the first FBI agent to investigate "The X-Files." Darren McGavin passed away early Saturday morning and I've been in mourning since.
Growing up with Kolchak, and remembering his role in the original pilot movie for "The Six Million Dollar Man," McGavin has simply been part of my life for as long as I remember. And while I still have my Kolchak DVDs and a fuzzy copy of "Cyborg" and can watch "A Christmas Story" all day every Christmas on cable, knowing that Darren himself isn't around any more has just left an empty space in my heart.
Here's a link to a page that includes a transcript of a pretty nice tribute to Darren McGavin.
