Wow. I don't I've ever seen him give a bad acting performance; even when the material was lacking, he seemed to elevate it.
R.I.P.
for the opening of "Once Upon a Time in the West," Leone wanted Wallach, Eastwood and Van Cleef to play the three gunmen who intercept Harmonica, to underline the film's recurring theme about the death of the west. That would've been amazing.
He was THE MAN in Magnificent Seven. Everyone kicked ass in the movie, but they all needed that kind of villain to stand up to them.
He was also in Cinderella Liberty...which I finally found on VHS way later in life.
..and Mister Freeze? fuhgedabowdit!
Rest in peace, Tuco
Don't forget another signature roll: Leon B. Little, the hitman contracted to snuff out Harry Doyle and Archie Long in Tough Guys.
"Then he paid me $30,000 to snuff you guys."
"But he's been dead, since 1956."
"So?"
"And we've been in jail, since 1956."
"So I've been waiting since 1956 for you two guys to get out."
"30 years?"
"When Leon B. Little takes a job, he sees it through. That's my reputation."
rip, he's the greatest actor I've seen.

LOL! I didnt think anyone could even recall tough guys, let alone recall actual scenes from it.
You mean like this:
"I warn you, I know Karate."
"I warn you, I know Winchester."
