Actor Darren McGavin, played father in “A Christmas Story,” dies at 83

"The husky, tough-talking performer went on to become one of the busiest actors in television and film, starring in five TV series, including “Mike Hammer,” and endearing holiday audiences with his role as the grouchy dad in the 1983 comedy classic “A Christmas Story.”"

I didn't realize he was 83. I don't know much of his work, but I know he was perfect in "A Christmas Story," and he did a nice job in "Billy Madison."

RIP.
