Definitely a favorite of mine.
M. Emmet Walsh just passed (at 88), and might top my list - there's a whole thread on him now with the recent passing.
But, I'll submit Tom Aldredge (played Tony Soprano's father-in-law, Hugh) for consideration. Not a big man, but brought gravity to roles by his presence and persona. (His father was a Colonel in the Army Air Corps).
He was one of those cats who elevated everything, no matter how small the part. With extensive stage experience (probably best known for Steven Sondheim's Into the Woods on Broadway) and 5 Tony nominations, he was usually a bright spot when appearing on film or television. Some of his final roles were the FIL in Sorpranos (as above), plus Nucky's father in Boardwalk Empire.
