William Lyle Richardson 
      American actor (b. May 7, 1922, Spokane, Wash.—d. Feb. 25, 2006, Los Angeles, Calif.), had a nearly 70-year career during which he showcased his versatility in hundreds of character roles. He was best known for his starring role in the television series Mike Hammer (1958), for his portrayal of newspaper reporter Carl Kolchak in two made-for-TV movies—The Night Stalker (1972) and The Night Strangler (1973)—and the cult TV series they inspired, Kolchak: The Night Stalker (1974–75), and for his performance as the grumpy dad in the motion picture A Christmas Story (1983). Later TV appearances included roles in Murphy Brown, for which he won an Emmy Award (1990) for his portrayal of the star character's father, and The X-Files, in which he played the agent who originated the files.
