Arbus also appeared in shows like "Matlock," "Law & Order," "Mad About You," "NYPD Blue" and "Curb Your Enthusiasm."
Before becoming an actor, the New York native owned a successful photography studio with his late ex-wife, Diane Arbus, who was a fashion photographer who gained critical acclaim for her portraits of ordinary people. Allan and Diane separated in 1959 and divorced 10 years later. Diane committed suicide in 1971.
Allan is survived by Costello and his three daughters; Arin, Amy and Doon.
