Did Alan Arkin have kids?

Arkin began his highly successful acting career in the late 1950s and went on to star in over 100 productions.

He was arguably best known for his roles in Edward Scissorhands (1990), Glengarry Glen Ross (1992), Little Miss Sunshine (2006), and Argo (2012).

Arkin also starred in the Netflix series, The Kominsky Method, but he left in 2021 before its third season.

"I'm like a horse going down the trail," he told The Guardian in 2020.

"Acting is so ingrained in my physiognomy and the channels of my brain that I find myself missing aspects of the business. But I don’t need it any more. I should probably get over it.”

While he might've been focused on his career for the majority of his life, that did not stop him from starting a family.

During his first marriage to Jeremy Yaffe, he welcomed sons Adam (b. 1956) and Matthew (b. 1960).

He then welcomed his third son, Anthony (b. 1967), during his second marriage to Barbara Dana.

All three of his kids ultimately followed in his footsteps and became actors.

Adam is known for his roles in Chicago Hope and Sons of Anarchy, Matthew is known for his role in 100 Centre Street, and Anthony is known for his roles in The Americans and Succession.
