I used to watch Mike Hammer in grade 8 after I would come home from school!
Sad to see another good actor go.
McGavin starred in the private eye series "Mike Hammer" in the 1950s. In 1968 he told a reporter: "Hammer was a dummy. I made 72 of those shows, and I thought it was a comedy. In fact, I played it camp. He was the kind of guy who would've waved the flag for George Wallace."
I had no idea those shows were taped in the 50s. I thought they were made in the 70s or 80s.
