Actor Ted Knight paid his dues with nearly two decades of relatively obscure dramatic, often villainous television work, before finding enduring fame in a scene-stealing supporting turn on a classic 1970s sitcom, hilariously overplaying a silver-haired, self-important imbecile. Although the conceited "stuffed shirt" typecast plagued him for the ...

#Fact
1Before his death, he was the acting mentor of Lydia Cornell, Deborah Van Valkenburgh and Jim J. Bullock, all of whom were Knight's good friends.
2Was good friends with Gavin MacLeod before they worked on Mary Tyler Moore Show together.
3Had Polish ancestry.
4Following his death, he was interred at Forrest Lawn Memorial Park Cemetery in Glendale, California.
5Can be heard in the comedy-drama movie MASH (1970) as a radio announcer (not to be confused with the PA announcer).
6In later life, Ted's wife, Dorothy Knight, served on the Board of Directors of Price Pottenger Nutrition Foundation in San Diego and was active in Palisadians For Peace.
7He was awarded a Star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame at 6673 Hollywood Bouelvard in Hollywood, California on January 30, 1985.
8He was also a prominent voice actor for 1960/1970s Superhero cartoons, like The Flash, The Atom, Superman, and other hero cartoons, Super Friends, and the Justice League. He was most known as the the omnipotent narrator, but he also voice over many of the second string character voices. He was never, or very rarely, the protagonist.
9The college sweatshirts he wore in the situation comedy Too Close for Comfort (1980) were sometimes sent to him by students from real colleges.
10In the 1970s, he was the spokesperson for Southgate USA and appeared in numerous commercials that aired on Cleveland area television and radio stations. (Southgate USA is a Shopping Center in Maple Heights, Ohio).
11Biography in: "The Scribner Encyclopedia of American Lives." Volume Two, 1986-1990, pages 491-493. New York: Charles Scribner's Sons, 1999.
12Served as a combat engineer of A Company, 296th Combat Engineer Battalion which built bridges, roads, and temporary living structures in the European Theatre following the D-Day invasion. The 296th CEB earned five Battle Stars during its service in World War II.
13Had a small role at the very end of Alfred Hitchcock's Psycho (1960), as a cell guard who opens the cell door for another officer who gives Anthony Perkins ("Norman Bates") a blanket.
14Bore an uncanny resemblence to Barry Goldwater. In an episode of Too Close for Comfort (1980) when someone paints a portrait of Knight's character, the running gag becomes "Wow, look at that great picture of Barry Goldwater".
15Had three children with Dorothy Knight: Ted Knight Jr., Elyse Knight and Eric Knight.
16His well-modulated voice, ideal for radio broadcasting and announcing, helped keep him afloat during the dismal 1960s providing narration and voices for a number of cartoon series -- including The Batman/Superman Hour (1968) and Star Trek: The Animated Series (1973).
17Had played a minor villain on television and film drama for the longest time before the role of Ted Baxter on Mary Tyler Moore (1970) aggressively tapped into his comedy talents.
