RIP Darren

You were awesome in A Christmas Story and Billy Madison

Wow, first Don Knotts and now Darren McGavin. What a night. I watched Darren in Night Stalker when I was a kid, but he will live forever as "The Old Man" in Christmas Story year after year.

Darren..... and "FRA-GEE-LAY!!"

I was just about to say the same thing. This guy was a great actor and I remember him in The Night Stalker too. A very underrated show.

R.I.P. Darren.

I had forgotten that they appeared together in a Disney movie. Yes, that is a
strange coincidence.
