Eli Herschel Wallach (born December 7, 1915) 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. He however, gained his first method experience at the Neighborhood Playhouse.

He served as a staff sergeant in Hawaii in a military hospital in the United States Army in World War II. However, soon he was sent to Officer Candidate School in Abilene, Texas to undergo training to become a medical administrative officer. He graduated as a Second Lieutenant and was sent to Madison Barracks in New York, where he was promptly shipped to Casablanca and, later in the war, to France. It was there that a superior discovered his acting history and asked him to form a show for the patients. He and other members from his unit wrote a play called Is This the Army?, which was inspired by Irving Berlin's This is the Army. In the comedic play Wallach and the other men clowned around as various dictators, Eli himself portraying Hitler.

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. Additional theatre credits include Mister Roberts, The Teahouse of the August Moon, Major Barbara, Luv, and Staircase, co-starring Milo O'Shea, which depicted an aging homosexual couple in a serious way.

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. He has been married to acclaimed stage actress Anne Jackson (born 1926) since March 5, 1948, and they have three children: Peter, Katherine and Roberta. His autobiography, "The Good, the Bad, and Me: In My Anecdotage" was published in 2005.

In 2006, Wallach made a guest appearance on the NBC show Studio 60 on the Sunset Strip, playing a former writer who was blacklisted in the 1950s. His character was a writer on "The Philco Comedy Hour", a comedy show that aired on the fictional NBS network. This is a reference to The Philco Television Playhouse, several episodes of which Wallach actually appeared on in 1955.
