    It's amazing that a son of a candy store owner, a Jew from Brooklyn New York could play a Mexican bandito better than anyone else. RIP Eli Wallach. You will be sorely missed. Tuco Benedicto Pacifico Juan Marie Ramirez

      If this film was made today, a cert for an Oscar for Eli! For me this was the greatest performance never to win an Oscar. i understand the politics back then but this was just a brilliant once in a lifetime acting masterclass! RIP Eli Wallach forever Tuco!

    You keep going, Eli! You're a real star and a living legend! This guy is the creator of one of the film industry's most enduring, most famous characters: Tuco the bandit. Hell, who else could've pulled it off as brilliantly as Eli did? I never tire of watching that performance because it's so very special. God bless the great Eli Wallach.

    Eli did an excellent voiceover for a documentary film about the Donner Party by Ric Burns. He played the famous Mountain Man James Clymun, who told the Reid party to stick to the regular Oregon Trail and not go through the mountains. It was very easy to tell it was Eli reading the part even before the end credits and he did a terrific job with it.

    A great actor, whose fan I was and is and will always remain. In real life a wonderful man, I always had a dream someday hope I meet my favourite star Eli Wallach. The greatest blessing is he married one woman and till his death never separated (1948-2014) given the modern actors and actresses who mint money and then get married ample of times as if a family and marriage is a game. Another actor I remember is Ben Turpin who loved is wife till her death, whom he tried a lot to save and was by her side till she died, being a Catholic he took her to different religious sites praying for a miracle. Such wonderful rich actors are rare to find. I do miss Ben Turpin but above all I miss you, my favourite actor Eli Wallach!
