Page "Eli Wallach" Paragraph 5

Wallach's film debut was in Elia Kazan's controversial 1956 Baby Doll, and he went on to a prolific career in films, although rarely in a starring role.

Other early films include The Lineup, The Misfits, The Magnificent Seven ( he portrayed the Mexican bandit Calvera ), Lord Jim as the General, a comic role in How to Steal a Million ( the latter two with Peter O ' Toole ), and perhaps most famously, as Tuco ( the ' Ugly ') in Sergio Leone's The Good, the Bad and the Ugly.

After the latter's success, Wallach appeared in several other " Spaghetti Westerns ", including Ace High with Terence Hill and Bud Spencer.
