RIP.

Indeed.

 

[Green Cross Code Man]

Enjoyed his friendship portrayal in The Kominsky Method.

 

[WATFORD zero]

First saw him as a very young teenager in Freebie and the Bean and from that discovered Catch-22. He was also the double of my step father of the last 40 years (until he passed 4 years ago) so always loved seeing him in various things. RIP life well lived.

 

[Rambo]

Ahhh, shame, I love this guy. Brilliant in the Kominsky Method, Escape From Sobibor and Little Miss Sunshine.

 

[Stat Brother]

Was also excellent, as expected, in Argo.

Forgot about Argo.


“Argo……..f*** yourself”

 

[Questions]

He did a Clousesu as well didnt he. Brilliant actor, brilliant.

 

[Acker79]

I liked him in So I Married an Axe Murderer as a kind and friendly police chief, when Anthony LaPaglia's character wanted an angry shouty one like in the movies.

 

[Pevenseagull]

Bye bye 'Bean'.

Glengarry Glen Ross he is superb underplaying while everything else goes on with the shouty stuff. Makes the film.

'Yeah, Bunch of f***ing nonsense'

 

[BrightonCottager]

Catch 22. My favourite book. I recall seeing him in the film and being slightly disappointed. So I re read the book. Then the recent TV adaptation cMe out - was slightly better but not good enough. Thought the film.was better. rip

He was also in The Return of Captain Invincible, a strange Australian comedy about a washed up superhero which includes Arkin and Christopher Lee singing such as this song which I loved:

Have just noticed GGGR is available on ITVX.

 

[The Clamp]

Superb actor.
First came to my attention in the 90’s in the unparalleled Glen Garry…

And in So I Married An Axe Murderer.

Which says a lot about the range of the man.

I also like his son, Adam’s acting. Was great in Northern Exposure.

A superbly dignified, talented and underrated actor.

A genuine loss to acting.

Escape From Sobibor is a great film

 

[The Antikythera Mechanism]

WAIT UNTIL DARK
Harry Roat, Jr., from Scarsdale, to Suzy Hendrix: "All the children have gone to bed. Did you know they wanted to kill me? I knew before they did. Now it's topsy-turvy. Me topsy, them turvy."
Who did villainy better than Alan Arkin?
