Fellow actors Viola Davis and Patton Oswalt paid tribute to Arkin on social media.
“Our work inspired a generation of actors and reminded us how powerful our art can shift us,” wrote Davis. “Rest well! May flights of angels sing thee to thy rest.”
“Did ANYONE have the range Alan Arkin had?,” Oswalt tweeted. “Hilarious, sinister, insane, tragic. No mood he couldn’t live in. RIP.”
