He was also nominated for an Oscar in the best supporting actor category for Argo.

Arkin died on Friday at his home in Carlsbad, California, according to Variety.

His sons Adam, Matthew and Anthony told People magazine in a joint statement: “Our father was a uniquely talented force of nature, both as an artist and a man.

“A loving husband, father, grand and great grandfather, he was adored and will be deeply missed.”

He also won a Tony Award in 1963 for his first major stage role in Carl Reiner’s Enter Laughing.
