Eli Wallach, 98

Good actor, Magnificent Seven is an awesome flick, but Eli's "Tuco" in "The Good, The Bad and The Ugly" was fantastic.

R.I.P. Eli.

PS-Didn't know he was a medic in WWII.
We are now where The Founders were when they faced despotism.

I've seen him in many many recent movies, kind of type cast as the grandpa.  He's good at that role.  I like his acting in that kind of role.

Honestly though, it was only in the last year I connected him to THAT GUY in the Good, the Bad, and the Ugly.  Tuco, the guy that does the hanging.  I had no idea they were the same guy.

One of the great ones.  RIP.

Wow, Didn't realize he was so far up there in age. Loved the characters he played most everything. RIP my friend, God speed.
