AS SEEN ON TV: WILLIAM McKINLEY

In the 'Reaper' episode "Leon", Patton Oswalt portrayed the soul of Leon Czogolsz, the assassin of President William McKinley. For a while, Oswalt's portrayal had the lead for the Toobits Award of Best Historical Character Revision. But he was trumped by Jonathon Young as the vampiric Nicola Tesla in 'Sanctuary'.

The History Channel created a docudrama about the assassination of McKinley which featured Richard Strobel as the President. Mr. Strobel has his own website with an excellent array of pictures from that production and I'd like to thank him for the chance to feature them in this display of the sequence of events on September 6, 1901.
