Alan Arkin RIP

[unassuming]

Long time actor Alan Arkin has passed at 89. One of my faves of all time.

Arkin was one of my favourite actors. The man was truly one of the greats in my opinion. My wife and I recently watched The Kominsky Method. Absolutely fantastic. It's like watching acting royalty. RIP

He was fantastic. The first thing I ever saw him in was Wait Until Dark. It's still a great movie.

He had a weird accent/way of speaking for that villain role, but it worked.

One of the most underrated actors...
Kevin Pollack wahttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=T_iCvm-5Mrgs a big fan of his too...

 

[GameBoy27]

Also liked him in Glengary Glen Ross, Gross Point Blank and Argo.

and Argo.

Ar….go fuck yourself!

I'll discount Argo, American propaganda.

His accent for Wait Until Dark was a knockoff from his breakthrough role as LT Rozanov in The Russians are Coming, The Russians are Coming. the films were made consecutively.

Agreed. Anything he did was gold.

I didn't know this was him. Excellent

Likeable guy. RIP. also liked his son Adam Arkin who disappeared from the limelight a long time ago.

Also great in "Catch 22" as Captain Yossarian...

"That's some catch, that Catch 22!"

Adam Arkin has a prominent role as a restaurateur in the GOAT's masterpiece PIG. He's exceptional in the film, but it's not for everyone.

Alan Arkin stole the show in a 1975 comedy about making cowboy movies in the 1920s, Hearts of the West, with Jeff Bridges and Andy Griffith.

Any discussion about Alan Arkin is incomplete without mention of his brilliant performance in Heart of a Lonely Hunter. One of the most affecting films and performances that I’ve ever seen.

Agreed! , but I mostly watch it for Sondra Locke, she was nominated for a supporting Oscar, what a young cutie she was.

Put me down for Catch-22. One of those movies that each time I watch I notice something I hadn't before. Also, appreciate his performance more each time I watch it. RIP.

Heard of the title for years. Just read the synopsis. Sounds like the most depressing movie ever made.
