The Incomparable Eli Wallach

I think I first saw Eli Wallach (and realized who I was watching) in a Tales from the Crypt movie in the 80s. No way, a movie that befit his talent, but as this A.O. Scott (Wallach's nephew) profile shows, Wallach loves acting such that even a turn as the icily evil villain Mr. Freeze from TV's Batman series became an opportunity for Wallach to gleefully chew scenery and share his joy with the audience. Ninety-five years old and still acting - OOMH salutes great American Eli Wallach.
