Alan Arkin R.I.P.

One of my most favorite actors of all time. Just an absolute perfection in delivery even in the shortest of episodes. 

Alan Arkin, the Academy Award and Tony Award-winning actor, has died at 89. His death was confirmed to PEOPLE exclusively by his sons Adam, Matthew and Anthony, who jointly offered a statement on the family’s behalf: "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."

He was a rarest breed with roots in old Hollywood when it was overflowing with talent and good stories. And while media recall his Little Miss Sunshine, for me personally he will always be Lieutenant Rozanov from The Russians Are Coming, The Russians Are Coming and in his incredible interaction with Amy Adams in a little but warm flick Sunshine Cleaning. Ah, what the hell, he could carry a whole movie, even shitty one, just by appearing in a couple of episodes--that's the sign of a true master. Like this:

He left us under our applause...
