What a shame, I always liked his performances. He was magnificent in TGTBTU, of course.

[gutter_trash]

I best remember him for his iconic role as Tuco Ramirez in and as Don Altobello

 

[outunderthestars]

RIP. I only knew him from TGTBTU.

I have no idea what that acronymn stands for.

 

[jakncoke]

From 1951 to 2010, he has 167 things credited to his filmography. Long list lol

 

[MegalonJJ]

I have no idea what that acronymn stands for.

RIP

 

[IrishNinja]

one of the greats, without a doubt - must've been a helluva ride as well. RIP.

 

[Secret Fawful]

Goddamnit. One of my favorite actors of all time. Awful news. May he rest in peace.

Seriously, one of the few actors to make me smile whenever I saw him on screen. What a treasure we have lost.

 

[Ra\/en]

wow. 98. Long and productive life! Good on him!

 

[Aurongel]

Wow, can't believe that old gunslinger made it to 98. For the longest time I wanted a mustache just like his from TGTBATU.

 

[brandonh83]

wow. 98. Long and productive life! Good on him!

Fucking this right here. Of course it's sad when anyone dies, but this dude seemed to live life to his fullest, contributed to historical art, and lived 98 years. Awesome.

 

[Andiie]

Rest In Peace

 

[Akahige]

Wow almost 100.

RIP

 

[CreepingFear]

Lived to 98. Can't say he didn't have a long life.

 

[Sir_Crocodile]

One of the few good things about Wolf on Wall Street 2 the other year. Fantastic actor, fantastic career.

 

[Helmholtz]

Loved him in TGTBTU. RIP

 

[Dead Man]

RIP

 

[f0lken]

I was very young when I saw TGTBATU but "When you have to shoot, shoot. Don't talk" marked me big time, and also I didn't know he was Don Altobello, mindblown.

RIP. I"ll remember you forever

 

[Anth0ny]

RIP to a legend.

 

[harSon]

 

[nacimento]

RIP, loved him as Tuco.

 

[-ImaginaryInsider]

Well done Tuco...heck of career/life.

 

[NeoGeoOwner]

He had a long life. RIP.

Yours,

Franck

 

[MidnightCowboy]

RIP to Tuco

There are two kinds of spurs, my friend.

 

[Boogalogist]

RIP in peace, legend.

 

[NekoFever]

I remember when they got him to dub some lines for a scene in the restored version of TGTBATU in 2003 and he sounded ancient then.

 

[Vyer]

Wow 98.

RIP to a legend

"IF YOU WORK FOR A LIVING, WHY DO YOU KILL YOURSELF WORKING?"

He was brilliant as Tuco in TGTBATU. RIP

 

[Dragoon En Regalia]

What amazes me is just how long the Silver Age Hollywood film stars have lasted. Wallach nearly became a centenarian; if he can stay healthy, Kirk Douglas is on his way up to that milestone, and the guy can sort of still speak!

RIP, old dead dude.

 

[- J - D -]

Last thing I saw him in was the The Holiday. Standard romcom film but his old Hollywood writer character was great.

There are a few legends left. The best known is probably Olivia de Havilland, five time Oscar nominee, two time winner. She'll be 98 years old in a few days (and she was looking very good for her age only a few years ago.)

There's also Luise Rainer, two time Oscar winner in the 1930ies, who's now 104 years old (!).

RIP, Eli.

 

[Screaming Meat]

Ah man. Just heard. What a legend. RIP

 

[Masquerader]

Damnit. Now, only Blondie is left. RIP, the one whom digs.

 

[V_Ben]

What a life, may he rest in peace.

 

[Jburton]

Fantastic screen presence, a quality mostly absent these days.

R.I.P.

 

[FStop7]

BLONDIE YOU SON OF A



One of the greatest trios, ever...

This scene, this shot... god damn. Just the culmination of work by 3 amazing actors, an amazing director, and an amazing composer.

RIP, Tuco.

 

[Tugatrix]

RIP Eli you won't be forgotten

 

[Discotheque]

last thing i saw him in was the ghost writer. didn't even recognize him either.
