Alan Arkin Didn't see this posted yet though it was last week. He had many great roles particularly in comedies. Catch-22, The Russians are Coming... and loved his role in Grosse Pointe Blank. “Posterity! You will never know how much it cost the present Generation to preserve your Freedom! I hope you will make good use of it. If you do not, I shall repent in Heaven, that I ever took half the Pains to preserve it.” ― John Adams "Fire can be our friend; whether it's toasting marshmallows, or raining down on Charlie." - Principal Skinner. | ||

Watch him batter with Michael Douglas in The Kominsky Method on Netflix it was absolutely great. I hated it when he was no longer on the show. My Native American Name: "Runs with Scissors" | |||

"The In-Laws" is one of my favorites. RIP, Mr. Arkin.  | |||

I always enjoyed him. He was funny in every movie I recall seeing him in - “Little Miss Sunshine,” “Catch-22,” and “Argo,” to name a few. | |||

The movies listed were great but I will always remember him for his Oscar nominated performance in “The Heart Is A Lonely Hunter” back in 1968 ____________________________________________________________ Money may not buy happiness...but it will certainly buy a better brand of misery A man should acknowledge his losses just as gracefully as he celebrates his victories Remember, in politics it's not who you know...it's what you know about who you know | |||

He almost always gave a good performance. He made "The Kaminsky Method." The fish is mute, expressionless. The fish doesn't think because the fish knows everything. | |||

I can't think of a role that he did that I didn't like. Very funny man. 89? He had a great run! I remember watching The Komenski Method and thinking "wow, is he getting old!" I immediately thought of two scenes: "Emergency, emergency, everyone to get from street" "Serpentine Shell, Serpentine!" ______________________________________________________________________ "When its time to shoot, shoot.

His comedy roles are well-credited here, but I'm reminded of his serious roles. Came across Wait Until Dark just the other night. Very effective as a bad guy creep as well. R.I.P. Alan Arkin. | |||
