Audiences might remember him best as Tuco (The Ugly) from The Good, The Bad, and The Ugly<\/i>, but Eli Wallach was an actor of enormous range. Working on film and television well into his 90s, Wallach was the ultimate supporting actor, a man whose prolific appearances who brought life to every film in which he appeared. He charmed in the days of old Hollywood in The Magnificent Seven<\/i> and The Misfits<\/i>, and he brought humanity to recent hits including Mystic River<\/i>, The Holiday<\/i>, and Wall Street: Money Never Sleeps<\/i>. Though he won BAFTA, Tony, and Emmy awards, Wallach was never nominated for an Oscar; the Academy realized their error in 2010 when they awarded him an honorary statuette for his lifetime accomplishments.<\/p>\n

We’re very saddened to hear news of Eli Wallach’s death<\/a>, but we’ll never lose his numerous and iconic contributions to film. Media Services’s collection contains a startling number of films starring Wallach, a testament to his prolific body of work.<\/p>\n
