Saxum Posted July 2, 2023 Posted July 2, 2023 Peevy from The Rocketeer is role I remember him best in. RIP Quote
Wacka Posted July 2, 2023 Posted July 2, 2023 First role I believe was in "The Russians are coming! The Russians are coming!" "Emergency! Emergency! Everybody to get from street!" He played the Russian sub commander that had to pull into a NE village when his sub had problems. Quote

Alan Arkin was great in this and so many other flicks. RIP 1 Quote

RIP It’s actually one of the first movies I remember seeing. I think it was at that little theater in Hamburg the same year as Yellow Submarine with the Beatles. Alan Arkin never failed to make a good impression with his work, taking on some quirky roles. Very talented man. RIP. EDIT: Yellow Submarine movie was a couple years later. Alan Arkin was in the first movie I remember seeing at a theater. . Edited July 2, 2023 by Augie Quote

Fleezoid Posted July 5, 2023 Posted July 5, 2023 It was a small part, but I liked him as the police chief in "So, I Married an Ax Murderer". His scenes were a funny jab at literally every cop movie. Quote
JÂy RÛßeÒ Posted July 5, 2023 Posted July 5, 2023 His performance as Chief in the Steve Carrell version of Get Smart is understated and hilarious Quote
