He was one of the greatest 'character actors' ever in America. In one report Clint Eastwood said, "working with Eli Wallach has been one of the great pleasures of my life."
He acted in the following remarkable and legendary roles:
- Calvera in The Magificent Seven (1960)
- Tuco in The Good, the Bad and the Ugly (1966)
- Don Altobello Godfather Part III (1990)
- Julie Steinhard Wall Street: Money Never Sleeps (2010)
The veteran stage and screen actor died last Tuesday, he was 99. He appeared in more than four dozen films over the past five decades and received an honorary Academy Award of Oscar in 2010 for lifetime achievement. He had a sense of humor about his carrier and he titled his 2005 memoir “The Good, the Bad, and Me: In My Anecdotage.”
Why am I blogging today about him? First, because he used to be one of the best actor ever secondly, he had some connection with the market, namely in his final film role, Wallach had a key part in Oliver Stone’s “Wall Street: Money Never Sleeps” (2010) movie. In that movie Wallach is a wise old banker who predicts a financial apocalypse. There was a great performance from 95 year-old Eli Wallach as Jules Steinhardt, a veteran money man who goes back to the original Wall Street crash.
We can learn from his professional approach. He had the following famous quotes about his attitude. His commitment to the acting is a great pattern for us either how being better trader:
- “I've learned that life is very tricky business: Each person needs to find what they want to do in life and not be dissuaded when people question them.”
- “Well, I go to the theater today, and its curtain - there is no curtain in this play; the lights go down and go up - and we start. And I live this character for two hours. There are only two of us in the play. And It's a complete experience.”
- “Everyone thinks acting is easy. It's far from easy, but it's the most gratifying thing I do.”
