Too many refrences to his 2007 Little Miss Sunshine Oscar

There's at least three places (all right next to each other) that mention him winning the Oscar for best supporting actor. It looks like several different people wrote it in, while watching the Oscars, before checking to see if someone else had already.

MASH

Wasn't he Dr. Sidney Freeman, the psychologist, in M*A*S*H*? I was going to just add that, but then I wasn't sure. Could anyone confirm this one way or the other? —Preceding unsigned comment added by Shadowviking (talk • contribs) 02:13, August 29, 2007 (UTC)

If you mean the TV series, the actor's name was Allan Arbus [1]. If you mean the 1970 movie, there was a David Arkin [2], but he played a different role. Not hard to see where your confusion came from. -- JackofOz 02:33, 29 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Ah, thanks for clearing that up. Shadowviking 14:45, 29 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Photo & Children's article?

Heyllo ppl, there is a photograph of him in Yossarian, the role he played in the movie adaptation of the novel Catch-22. So can't we use it here too? and by the way does this qualify as a children's literature??? Elncid (talk) 12:37, 24 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Birth year of Adam Arkin, son of Alan Arkin

In this article, the birth year of Adam Arkin is stated as 1957. However in the Wikipedia article on Adam Arkin, the year is stated as 1956. In the highly respected reference book "The Film Encyclopedia", 1994 edition, by Ephraim Katz, the year is stated as 1956.216.80.73.204 (talk) 23:49, 14 April 2010 (UTC)Douglas Fornango, Chicago, IL (no current email address)[reply]
