Oscar winner Alan Arkin, whose background in improvisation and knack for comic drama were cornerstones of his extensive genre-hopping career that yielded enduring characters from the 1960s comedy “The Russians Are Coming, the Russians Are Coming” to “Little Miss Sunshine” and “Argo,” has died.

“Our father was a uniquely talented force of nature, both as an artist and a man. A loving husband, father, grand and great grandfather, he was adored and will be deeply missed,” the actor’s sons Adam, Matthew and Anthony said in a joint statement shared with The Times on Friday.

No additional details about his death were revealed. Arkin was 89.

3. R.I.P.

One of my favorites. I knew if he was in a movie, it would be terrific.

One of my favorites was the original 'The Inlaws' "Don't shoot! I'm a dentist!"

4. A talented actor, for sure.

He had an exceptional ability to never break out of character. Even in 'The Santa Clause 3", he threw everything into the role and he was fantastic. Funniest part of the whole movie, going over the whole North Pole with a level to see if the workshop was up to code.

I am sorry to hear this.
