Eli Wallach, 98

Great actor. Loved him as Tuco in The Good, The Bad, and The Ugly. There is an interview online where he talks about improvising the "gun shop" scene where Tuco assembles a gun from the best parts of those available - never having known much about firearms. He was surprised but pleased that many fans of the movie thought of that scene as authentic.

"When you have to shoot, shoot, don't talk."

He also was good in his part in Godfather III - which despite not rising to the level of Godfather I and II still had a lot of good moments.

Rest in peace. They don't make many actors like him anymore.
