Eli Wallach, a gravelly voiced character actor who appeared alongside such giants as Clark Gable and Marilyn Monroe in The Misfits, Clint Eastwood in The Good, the Bad and the Ugly and Al Pacino in The Godfather: Part III, died Tuesday, his daughter Katherine told The New York Times. He was 98.

A sad 'goodbye' to another movie great.

If you’re going to shoot, shoot. Don’t talk.

I really liked this actor and I do not say that about many of them.

"When its time to shoot, just shoot. Don't talk!"

[MamaTexan]

LOL! I think Wallach’s Tuco character surprised everyone. It takes a darn good actor to endear the audience to a bad guy...especially back then.

The best line from the movie and one of the most memorable lines ever from a western.

[Slump Tester]

I never knew that guy in the Eastwood movie played the old guy in the God Father until I googled up images to see who he was.

[Vaquero]

Great character actor.

RIP Tiger.

[Zhang Fei]

Was the Ugly Lee Van Cleef or Eli Wallach?

[Vaquero]

Godfather 3....don't forget the 3

worst godfather ever.

[MamaTexan]

I like him, too. One of the few where I would watch a move (no matter the genre) just because he was in it.

I didn't realize it, but in 2005, he released his autobiography, "The Good, The Bad And Me: In My Anecdotage". I'm definitely looking forward to reading it.

That and his hyper-fast sign of the cross were priceless.

[GreenHornet]

He was also one of three actors to play “Mr. Freeze” in the 1960s “Batman” TV show (The others were Otto Premminger and George Sanders.)

[MamaTexan]

Wallach acted over such a long period of time, I think a lot of people would be surprised how many movies they had seen him in without even knowing it.

[DeFault User]

So long, Blondie!

Many of us are reminded of our own mortality, and short time here, as we read of people we know or are familiar with.

Whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved.

THEN get political (or whatever)

[Terry L Smith]

A sad goodbye, indeed!

The bad guy from ‘The Magnificent Seven’, and ‘The Good, The Bad, and The Ugly’.

The only bad guy, able to do his own gunsmithing!

A long List Over Here

Yes...and it really confused me when I was a kid. I was clueless as to WHY the way Mr. Freeze looked kept changing! :-)
