Adam Arkin
Adam Arkin was born on August 19, 1957 in New York City, Brooklyn, New York, US to Alan Arkin and Jeremy Yaffe. Arkin has three brothers, Matthew (lawyer, actor), Jake Wakefield (lawyer) and Anthony Arkin (director, actor).
Arkin always knew that acting was going to be a part of his life, not surprising given his parentage. His first introduction to real acting came when he was 10, 1967, when he was enrolled at Herbert Berghof Studio for acting. Four years later he had his first big screen role, Made For Each Other.
He has been married twice, first to Linda (a yoga instructor), then to Phyllis Lyons (1999 - present). Phyllis and Arkin have one daughter, Molly (b 1987).
