RIP Allen Arken

I remember watching this scene as a kid and laughing my ass off. Serpentine! Serpentine!

That scene was the first thing that popped into my mind when I heard of his passing. Very underrated actor.

A.A. was in a hilarious, wonderful sleeper called Coupe De Ville probably 30 years ago. It's a buddy/road trip movie about three brothers and it is nothing but great one-liners one after another and really funny sub-plots. Arkin plays the dying father and although it's a comedy the ending morphs into a bit of a tear-jerker. Anybody who has brothers should watch it, it's truly one of my favorite movies and Arkin is great in it. RIP Mr. Arkin.

His performance in Glengarry Glen Ross was also a great dramatic performance.

The In-Laws is fantastic. The version with Michael Douglas and Albert Brooks was certainly a step backward but Brooks like Arkin was great.
