But I'll always remember him as the "kind and saintly" Don Altobello in The Godfather III. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr. Brown 91 Posted June 25, 2014 Share Posted June 25, 2014 He was brilliant in Don Siegel's THE LINEUP, playing the lead character.Sad loss, but he had an excellent career. I think the last film I saw him in was Polanski's THE GHOST WRITER. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nightscape94 965 Posted June 25, 2014 Share Posted June 25, 2014 At first I thought I only knew him from TGTBATU, but after reviewing his filmography, I saw him in quite a few things. Never made the connection.RIP. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Damien F 1,742 Posted June 25, 2014 Share Posted June 25, 2014 Amazing actor. Almost stole the show in TGTBTU from Eastwood. RIP.If I live to be his age, I'll die in 2082 and ET will be 100 years old ... and JW will have just finished scoring Indiana Jones and The Mysterious Blu-Ray, and Star Wars: Episode 32 Once 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sir Hilary Bray 235 Posted June 25, 2014 Share Posted June 25, 2014 To me he'll always been Calvera, but from my childhood he'll be one of the incarnations of Mr Freeze in the Adam West Batman. Great actor and as we say, a mighty fine innings. Here's to Eli Wallach. RIP. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Marian Schedenig 8,211 Posted June 25, 2014 Share Posted June 25, 2014 A wonderful actor, and active up to a very high age. I remember being surprised that he was still acting when I saw Keeping the Faith - and that came out in 2000. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Koray Savas 2,251 Posted June 26, 2014 Share Posted June 26, 2014 Not much to say that hasn't already been said. A fantastic actor that brought to life one of the most iconic characters in the history of the medium. RIP Eli. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
#SnowyVernalSpringsEternal 10,265 Posted June 26, 2014 Author Share Posted June 26, 2014 Great idea of having a talkative character like that in the usually mono-sylabic enviroment of a Leone western! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sharkissimo 1,973 Posted June 26, 2014 Share Posted June 26, 2014 I find TGTBATU a bit overrated TBH, but Wallach and Morricone utterly make that film for me. His role as Guido in THE MISFITS is another career highlight. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thor 7,529 Posted June 26, 2014 Share Posted June 26, 2014 Let's not forget that there are two Williams/Wallach connections too -- HOW TO STEAL A MILLION and CINDERELLA LIBERTY. There might also be some more in the TV work, but that escapes me at the moment. Once 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
