Remembering #DarrenMcGavin (1922-2006), the Emmy-winning American television, stage and film actor / director, born William Lyle Richardson in Washington #OnThisDay. His screen career spanned six decades, most successfully on TV, notably the title role in Mickey Spillane's #MikeHammer (1958-59), the father in Spielberg's CBS chiller #SomethingEvil (1972), Frank Black's father in #Millennium (1997) and Arthur Dales in #TheXFiles (1998-99)...
Immortalised as wise-cracking, monster-hunting reporter Carl #Kolchak in ABC's classic TV movie #TheNightStalker (1972), its 1973 sequel and the short-lived but beloved spinoff series (1974-75).
@bk1e - Correct, which is especially apparent in the X-Files "Monster of the Week" episodes. Same as the influence of 'The Invaders' and Roy Thinnes' appearance.
