Didn't see this until now.  I loved him as Kolchak: the Night Stalker, but his best was Mr. Parker (aka The Old Man) in A Christmas Story.  Who can forget the lamp?

Mr. Parker: It's a Major Award!
Swede: Shucks I wouldn't know that. It looks like a lamp.
Mr. Parker: What is a lamp, you nincompoop? It's a Major Award. I won it!
Swede: Damn, hell, you say won it?
Mr. Parker: Yeah, mind power, Swede; mind power.
