Though he became most celebrated for his endearing grouches, Alan Arkin was a versatile performer, equally capable of drama or comedy, with an idiosyncratic knack for combining the two.
With a career that touched stage, screen and TV stretching back to the early 1960s, Arkin,, was working right up to the end of his life, having recently received two Emmy nominations for his role in “The Kominsky Method” and providing a voice for the animated film “Minions: The Rise of Gru.”
Arkin won a Tony for his Broadway debut in 1963’s “Enter Laughing.” He would be nominated for an Academy Award for his first feature film role in 1966’s “The Russians Are Coming, the Russians Are Coming,” and would be nominated again two years later for “The Heart Is a Lonely Hunter.” But it would take him decades to win outright , and it’s a tribute to Arkin’s longevity that his career was so rich in the interim.
Below are a selection of movie roles — our personal favorites — that show the unique breadth of Arkin’s talent.Alan Arkin terrorizes Audrey Hepburn in a scene from the 1967 thriller “Wait Until Dark.”Arkin’s terrifying turn as a ruthless crook stalking a blind Audrey Hepburn is not, on balance, one of his more acclaimed performances.
Few films displayed Arkin’s range quite like the 1970 adaptation of Joseph Heller’s landmark novel of antiwar satire. Veering from an antic comedic edge to terrifyingly vivid and tender emotions, Arkin captures the head-spinning absurdity of trying to maintain one’s dignity, sanity and humanity amid the regimented indignities of the military mindset.
