His Northern Exposure character was so (intentionally) obnoxious I associated him with it and didn't like anything else he did.

Yeah, but he ended up marrying McMurphy in China Beach, so he had that going for him.

His kid Adam was in a few West Wing episodes, though!

Kevin Pollack has a great bit about meeting and impersonating Arkin and it is great. He would call Arkin's house and leave messages in Arkin's voice. And call other people and do the same. And apparently he once called the Larry King show as Arkin while Arkin was on the show. I can't find video of it but I know its on one of Pollack's albums.

“After that.” I’m well aware of his bigger, earlier roles lol. West wing was last thing I recall seeing him in

Aw man, I loved Alan Alda. His character on west wing was great - not sure if I saw him in anything after that

[SonofSouthie]

I thought he did a great job in The Heart Is a Lonely Hunter.

In memory.

Alan Arkin, 89
Rest in Peace, Yossarian. No more missions.

Ryan Mallett

this one bummed me out. Really enjoyed watching him play. I've never seen an arm like his. I vaguely recall seeing a video of him in flip flops and gym shorts throwing the ball 80 yards.

Was pulling for him to make it in the NFL but it just never worked out. RIP.

Didn't know about him, but that sounds a little like Art Schlichter (tOSU), who could reportedly throw the ball over 50 yards while sitting in a chair. He was a bust in the NFL, though his problem was mostly gambling.
