Among the world’s great comic minimalists, no one more than Alan Arkin captured so much recognizable reality inside so much insanity, while pretending everything was perfectly normal. Read film critic phillipstribune's tribute to the late actor here:
Abigail Breslin and Alan Arkin in"Little Miss Sunshine." Arkin, who died this week at 89, won an Academy Award for his performance.
Arkin was a terrific dramatic actor, too, largely because he didn’t have to shift gears all that much. Arkin’s comic peaks, starting with his Oscar-nominated film debut as Lt. Rozanov in the 1966 “The Russians Are Coming, the Russians Are Coming,” reside just a stone’s throw from straight drama.
Take the 1967 film version of the thriller “Wait Until Dark,” Libera says. Arkin plays the slippery villain in that one, terrorizing Audrey Hepburn. But what and who is he? A beatnik? A guy pretending to be a beatnik? A psychopath? “He’s layering characters on top of characters,” Libera says, “and as an actor he had an ability to move behind a character’s lines and a character’s initial circumstances. He let you know that there are other worlds to explore behind the facade of every character.
