That photo in the People article of him from years ago with hair and stache is pretty amazing.

Aw shit. That guy made everything he was in better. Just a very short list off the top of my head Glengarry, Little Miss Sunshine, Argo.

Roger Ebert once said about a certain actor (I forget who) that he was one of those people who you see in a movie and you smile. Arkin was definitely one of those guys. RIP.

That is one of my favorite characters and NO ONE at my office gets it when I yell at them and then ask how I did at the yelling. "Was it too much?"
I got to the point where I assigned the movie as homework but no one on my team took it seriously.

None of you kids mentioned Catch 22 or the Heart is a lonely Hunter. Arkin was the star in both of them.
But the real star of Catch 22 was Paula Prentiss’s naked body.

man this is such a positive quote that just reading it makes me smile; i couldn't think of a nicer compliment for someone. And agreed on Arkin.

Bad case of Stormtrooper Shot on those snipers. I think it was Maron who was recently talking about The In-laws, that it’s one of the best underrated comedies of alltime. I need to check it out
