From what I've read, he was a pain in the ass on set but that was because he wanted to turn in a great performance. Pretty long life though, RIP.

Best description I have read about him: "Although he was Jewish with parents who emigrated from Poland, Eli Wallach is one of the most famous Mexicans in screen history. "

I remember him in a hilarious movie called the Tiger Makes Out:
Loser Ben Harris (Wallach), an alienated mailman, decides to get a girl the only way he can — by kidnapping her. Putting his plan into operation one rainy night, he spots an attractive young woman. He races ahead of her and prepares an ambush. However, his would-be target finds shelter from the downpour and he ends up pulling a bag down over Gloria Fiske (Jackson) instead. When he carries her back to his basement apartment and removes the bag, he is dumbfounded to find he has captured a middle-aged housewife. With no alternative, he makes do with the person he has caught, but she proves to be not quite what he envisaged.
