Title: 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.

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.

I just never connected this guy to Tuco.

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