Horace, they say it goes in threes. Well, one of my favorite actors passed also. Darrin McGavin who played Kolshak on The Night Stalker. That was a big cult hit in the 70s and they are showing re-runs of it every now and then.
You know my wife told me about Darien McGavin the other day and I had Gavin McCloud in my mind until you mentioned Night Stalker Lathan. He was a great actor. I also love him the Christmas movie from Gene Shepard...'A Christmas Story' he was perfect for that part.
