He was in a VERY good TV movie from 1987 called Escape From Sobibor. Rutger Hauer co-starred with him. About the only mass escape ever made from a Nazi death camp. Well worth finding and watching. Arkin played the leader of the Jewish prisoners.

Wasn’t he also the psychologist in MASH?

"The Russians Are Coming the Russians Are Coming" free streaming on Pluto and Tubi.

He portrayed the flummoxed Russian Lieutenant Rozanov.

That, IMHO, was one of the funniest comedies ever made. Serpentine Shel! Serpentine! RIP Mr. Arkin.

Thanks! I hope it STAYS on YouTube. If you want a movie where the Jews open up a can of whoop-ass on their Nazi captors, this is a movie for you. Watching the prisoners take out one SS officer after another is grimly satisfying. Arkin and Hauer really shined in this one.
