Used to hate him because I didn’t like the characters he played. Then I grew up and realized what a great actor he was. One of the few educated actors in Hollywood. R.I.P.
To: Rummyfan
One of the true Greats; there are so few left.
R.I.P. Eli Wallach.
To: Bobalu
It took Cinerama and a train to kill him in “How the West Was Won”. Saw it in the original format.

He also played a “weasely Mexican hombre” in How the West Was Won (1962).
To: Rummyfan
He was very good as Cotton Weinberger in 'The Two Jakes', which I think is an underrated film.
RIP
