Win two free tickets to Charlotte paranormal convention right now

A bunch of paranormal investigators are gathering in Charlotte Nov. 6 through 8. It sounds like a ton of fun.

I'm giving away two free tickets to the convention, courtesy of the organizers. So in the comments section of this post, the first one to answer this question wins: Tell me the name of actor who played the character Kolchak in the television series The Night Stalker, one of my all-time favorite TV shows.

I spelt it wrong but I hope you won't hold that against me. :) Darren McGavin - my husband's all time favorite television series as a kid. I've (been subjected to) seen it a gazillion times!!!

[theo]

I'm going to argue Theo's answer.

From the Obit that Fox News ran when he died: " Darren McGavin, the husky, tough-talking actor who starred in the TV series "Mike Hammer," played a grouchy dad in the holiday classic "A Christmas Story" and had other strong roles in such films as "The Man with the Golden Arm" and "The Natural," died Saturday. He was 83....He starred in five series, including cult favorite "Kolchak: The Night Stalker" and "Riverboat," and became a prolific actor in TV movies. Among his memorable portrayals was Gen. George Patton in the 1979 TV biography "Ike."
