What didn't he do? during a long career he acted in almost anything, from comedy to drama, and even made musicals on Broadway.
One of those versatile actors that we sometimes forget.
This year we celebrate 100 years of his birth that happened to be in Spokane
Darren McGavin (1922–2006)
Yes he did play the king in The King and I revivals in the 1960''s. with diva Risë Stevens.
He was actually a set painter at Columbia Pictures, that has some experience from Broadway and one thing led to another once in Hollywood. Including playing the lead in at least three TV-serials, Mickey Spillane's Mike Hammer 1958–1959, Riverboat 1959–1961 and Kolchak: The Night Stalker 1974–1975
He acted in over 180 movies and television productions between 1945 and 2019, and when that wasn't enought theatre productions al over USA and even at Brussels Worlds Fair.
Replacing an earmarked role for Dean Martin in Jerry Lewis vehicle The Delicate Delinquent 1958, after the Dean and Jerry fight
A Christmas Story 1983, probably Darren's most beloved role.
And maybe that is how we shall remember him, despite his looks, very versatile actor that we sometimes forget.
Thanks for watching!
