Arkin had one of the dryest and funniest sense of humor of any actor of the era. Incredible timing and delivery.

One of my favorite actors. Loved him as the psychiatrist in Grosse Pointe Blank.

He was a very funny man who created a lot of smiles during his time on earth.

I know little to nothing about his personal life or politics, but like all of us, he will be judged perfectly.

May he RIP.

He had an underrated part in Glengarry Glen Ross. Rest in peace.

I remember him in Deadhead Miles (1971), a great old classic that A&E would often show back in the early ‘90s, lol.

My favorite role of his is as the police captain in So I Married an Axe Murderer.
Mike Myers character wants him to be a rough and tough police captain boss but he isn’t and tries to play act one to make Mike Myers’ character happy

Wait Until Dark with Audrey Hepburn.

Freebie and the Bean is a really good comedy.

And a great car chase sequence.
