The actor was 89 years old and died Thursday at his home in Carlsbad, California, Fox News Digital confirmed through Arkin’s sons, Adam, Matthew and Anthony.
“Our father was a uniquely talented force of nature, both as an artist and a man,” the family said in a statement. “A loving husband, father, grand and great grandfather, he was adored and will be deeply missed.”
