BREAKING: Alan Arkin, Oscar-winning 'Little Miss Sunshine' actor, dies at 89
Actor Alan Arkin speaks during a press conference for the new movie "Argo" at the 2012 Toronto International Film Festival in Toronto on Saturday, Sept. 8, 2012. THE CANADIAN PRESS/Michelle SiuAlan Arkin, the wry character actor who demonstrated his versatility in comedy and drama as he received four Academy Award nominations and won an Oscar in 2007 for "Little Miss Sunshine," has died. He was 89.
In recent years he starred opposite Michael Douglas in the Netflix comedy series "The Kominsky Method," a role that earned him two Emmy nominations. While still with Second City, Arkin was chosen by Carl Reiner to play the young protagonist in the 1963 Broadway play "Enter Laughing," based on Reiner's semi-autobiographical novel.
Arkin's career as a character actor continued to blossom when Mike Nichols, a fellow Second City alumnus, cast him in the starring role as Rossarian, the victim of wartime red tape in 1970's "Catch-22," based on Joseph Heller's million-selling novel.
Other recent credits included "Going in Style," a 2017 remake featuring fellow Oscar winners Michael Caine and Morgan Freeman, and the TV series "The Kominsky Method." "We were dirt poor so I couldn't afford to go to the movies often," he told the AP in 1998. "But I went whenever I could and focused in on movies, as they were more important than anything in my life."
