McGavin was great in the original Nightstalker. My favorite episode was "The Night Flyer"(I think that was the title?) The vampire that flew into airports for his hunting. He was also the best in "A Christmas Story", one of my holiday favorites. I wish him peace in the heavens.

Also he was in "The Martian Chronicles;TV mini-series". His role was friend of Rock Hudson. He opened his shop on Mars, but Martians visited to his shop, and they gave land-ownership to him. That was very ironic result. Hmm....that was masterpiece!
I was saddened to hear this.
He did so many interesting things over the years. Aside from the previously mentioned ones, he was great as Frank Black's father in the Christmas episode of Millennium, and in the X-Files episodes (which were a tribute to Kolchak).
McGavin was in a great Private Eye series called "The Outsider" - playing this Lew Archer type, lonely PI.
They just announced Don Knotts died, too.

He was one of the greats.
He appeared in my all-time favorite episode of Tales from the Dark Side called Distant Signals where he palyed a washed up actor from a long canceled TV series that left a certain group of individuals wanting for the series to reach reach a satisfactory conclusion. They traveled a great distance to round up the original writers and actors and had the final episodes filmed never to be shown on TV.

Yeah, a little eerie. Everybody has "D" in their name.

I am a big fan of McGavin and Kolchak but I am pretty sure that "The Night Flyer" (based on a short story by Stephen King) was never a Nightstalker episode, they did make it into a TV movie for something but I don't think it was Kolchak. Then again I could be wrong....hehe.
