My Take
Pat Harrington Jr. is the kind of character actor I treasure, the one who could steal a scene and still serve the story. His Schneider on One Day at a Time earned a 1984 Emmy, and that win felt like recognition for an entire craft of supporting work that rarely gets headlines. Coming from an acting family, he moved easily across stage, television, voice work, and writing, which tells me he loved the whole machinery of performance, not just the spotlight. He died in 2016, but his comedic timing lives on in reruns, and that durability is the real measure of a working actor.
