For being ever-patient and understanding: Spencer Tracy as Stanley T. Banks (with Elizabeth Taylor as his daughter Kay) in Father of the Bride (1950, directed by Vincente Minnelli).

For being self-sacrificing: Leon Ames as Mr. Alonzo Smith in Meet Me in St. Louis — when he realizes that moving to New York for a better job will be devastating to  his family (1944, directed by Vincente Minnelli).
