With Friends Like These
1998
Steve Hersh
"With Friends Like These..." took away the audience award at Santa Barbara '98, and it's easy to see why.
An accomplished farce populated by sly and knowing comedic performances, "WFLT" unites a novel premise with a near-perfect ensemble cast to create an enjoyable comedy of show business manners reminiscent of (and measurably superior to) the surprise hit "Get Shorty" of a few years back. Johnny DeMartino (Robert Costanzo) is a Hollywood character actor specializing in short, fat mafia goombah types.
Johnny leads a comfortable life as part of Hollywood's hard working second tier of day players. He works constantly, but never gets to really strut his stuff. All of that seems about to change when a bulimic casting director (Beverly D'Angelo in a wickedly funny cameo) asks him to audition for the role of a lifetime: the opportunity to work with Martin Scorsese (who has a cameo as himself) in an epic biography of Al Capone.
As part of the audition arrangement, Johnny is sworn to secrecy because Scorsese wants to avoid being inundated by requests for readings from all over town.
All too soon, Johnny's equally hungry character acting buddies find out what he's up to: Steve (Adam Arkin of TV's "Chicago Hope"), a neurotic failure living off his wife; compulsive womanizer Dorian (Jon Tenney of TV's "Brooklyn South"); and Armand (John Sayles regular David Straithairn), a tortured artist with a questionable past who others take as a living example of the dangerous type. Friendship is friendship, but this is the part of a lifetime, and L.A. actors are desperate men..."Lewis & Clark: The Journey of the Corps of Discovery"

Not in this Town
1997 TV
Brian Schnitzer
with Kathy Baker, Ed Begley Jr., Adam Arkin
Religious and racial hate crimes fester and grow in Billings, Mont., until an outspoken mother (Kathy Baker) organizes against a clan of neo-Nazis and finds herself, her Jewish family, and the entire community in danger.
This made-for-USA true-life account presents a compelling portrait of the American conscience under siege: Will ordinary citizens fight back or cower?
The terse screenplay builds to a crescendo of disharmony, and as Tammy Schnitzer, the converted wife of a Jewish doctor (Adam Arkin), Bates offers a moving performance; while the incongruous Ed Begley Jr., as the head hatemonger, makes you see how it can happen--anywhere.In the Line of Duty: Hunt for Justice

Himself
A must-see for baseball fans. (But you also enjoy it when you just like baseball).
It tells all about the history of the game and the legendary players and moments. The people who tell the stories and discuss the games are like Adam Arkin people who clearly love the game. This mini-series also reveals a great deal of the social history of the US.

Successful surgeon Jack McKee (William Hurt) is diagnosed with throat cancer -- and for the first time in his career, learns what it's like to be a patient at the mercy of cold-blooded doctors and a bureaucratic hospital.

This movie also stars: Christine Lahti (Anne McKee), Mandy Patinkin (Murray) and Adam Arkin (Eli). Regie: Randa Haines (who also directed "Children of lesser God")
Memorable scene: Jack McKee (Hurt) is standing in the living room when his sons races in. "Say hello to your father," Anne (Lahti) says, and the kid automatically picks up the phone.
