Appearing in over 60 films and numerous plays both on Broadway and off, Arkin's illustrious 40-year career includes the distinction of being one of only five actors to receive an Academy Award nomination for his first screen appearance. Oscar nominated three times for The Heart is a Lonely Hunter, The Russians are Coming and winning for Little Miss Sunshine, he has been nominated for every major theatrical award in this country and Canada, and won almost all of them. He has directed in every media, and is the author of ten books, most of them for young people.
