We might need to talk about his much underappreciated role as the police captain in "So I married an axe Murderer" He played it perfectly.

"Whittaker Walt, always I am saying goodbye to you, and always I am seeing you again."

It's been too long since I last watched "The Russians are Coming The Russians are Coming."

Funny guy, and a good actor. Sayonara.

There was only one catch and that was Catch-22, which specified that a concern for one's safety in the face of dangers that were real and immediate was the process of a rational mind. Orr was crazy and could be grounded. All he had to do was ask; and as soon as he did, he would no longer be crazy and would have to fly more missions. Orr would be crazy to fly more missions and sane if he didn't, but if he was sane he had to fly them. If he flew them he was crazy and didn't have to; but if he didn't want to he was sane and had to. Yossarian was moved very deeply by the absolute simplicity of this clause of Catch-22 and let out a respectful whistle.

"That's some catch, that Catch-22," he observed.

"It's the best there is," Doc Daneeka agreed."

Dangit, having a harder time than I would have thought finding a good Alan Arkin clip from Grosse Point Blank on YT...

He was great.  Perhaps a one trick pony, but it was a fine trick.

I liked him as Chief in Get Smart.

If you haven't seen it, try and find Wait Until Dark. He is *such* a believable and creepy bad guy in this one. And it also has Audrey Hepburn as the heroine.

May his memory be a blessing. 

(And you gotta watch the clip all the way through.)
