Eli Herschel Wallach is an American film, TV and stage actor. Wallach was born in Brooklyn, New York to a Polish-Jewish family. He graduated from The University of Texas at Austin and received a Masters of Arts from The City College of New York.

Wallach made his Broadway debut in 1945 and won a Tony Award in 1951 for his performance in the Tennessee Williams play ‘The Rose Tattoo’. Wallach’s film debut was in Elia Kazan’s controversial ‘Baby Doll’ and he went on to have a prolific career in films, although rarely in a starring role. Other early films include ‘The Misfits’, ‘The Magnificent Seven’ and as Tuco (the ‘Ugly’) in Sergio Leone’s ‘The Good, the Bad and the Ugly’. His autobiography, ‘The Good, the Bad, and Me: In My Anecdotage’ was published in 2005.
