Alan Arkin has passed away at 89.

He played many interesting roles. I always remember him as Capt. John Yossarian in Catch-22.

Edit/update: I had forgotten the first movie (The Russians Are Coming, The Russians Are Coming.) in which I saw Arkin. I loved his sense of humor and sharp wit.

Alan Arkin made a great Yossarian in "Catch-22" and submariner in "The Russians Are Coming". I liked his consistent accent across his roles, sounding like an outraged innocent protesting bad treatment and bad manners. A truly funny actor.

I really liked him opposite Michael Douglas in "The Kominsky Method", a fairly recent Netflix series offering. He was the perfect foil.

The In-Laws.

His dry sense of humor contributed a great deal to many movies. R.I.P.

I like that show. Seems strange that they just had a funeral for Arkin's character.
