Alan Arkin. Legend

It takes quite a lot for me to give a fuck about people dying - but Alan Arkin!

I don't know what it was about that guy - he just had incredibly likeable bones, I guess. Big love for all his work, but it was Catch-22 that introduced me to him. He's like a far less annoying Alan Alda - and I like Alan Alda.

Yeah, he was summat special.

A bit of a renaissance man, by all accounts, as well.

Need to catch Freebie and the Bean again!

Sad to hear writer/producer Manny Coto died on July 9th.

He created the fantastic Odyssey 5, plus showran later seasons of Star Trek: Enterprise and 24.

Funny, I just remembered Tucker's Luck out of the blue for no reason yesterday. Maybe it was a premonition?

One for the "didn't know they were still alive until they weren't" list.

Not part of the rat pack but only because Tony was too busy with other things to raise hell (Tony and Frank were friends) beeb bio
