This old geezer is still working, he's 93 years young, not the greatest actor to grace a stage, but certainly the oldest living SAG card holder

Not so certainly...

Kevin McCarthy is 95, has a movie out this year, one in post-production and one currently filming.

And, while I'm aware of no current credits, Gloria Stuart (who played opposite Claude Raines in the original The Invisible Man) is 99 and a SAG card holder.

Eli's a great actor; always lots of fun. But he was having a bit of hyperbolic fun, with that "oldest" thing.

TazDevil is learning disabled so he can not spell very well (no he is not dyslexic or retarded).*note I am trying to say that in a way that is nice as I am not other one of thows, and ones here do ask me if I am all the time* It is a mild learning disability that makes it hard to sound out words and understand math (luckily there is not much math to do on B.com)

He'll always be "Tuco" to me from the movie "The Good, The Bad & the Ugly." He had one of the best lines in the movie: "When you have to shoot, shoot. Don't talk."

I'm not usually one to nitpick, but Wallach was not the first Mr Freeze, he was the third, after George Sanders and Otto Preninger.
Sorry.
But nevertheless, an impressive filmography.

Glad he isn't dead too.

He is a good solid character actor from the old school/studio system.

What's he worth in the b.com death pool, at this point?

He was also in a lot of the Clint Eastwood spaghetti westerns from the late 60's I think.

Seven points. Subtract the age from one hundred.

This old geezer is still working, he's 93 years young, not the greatest actor to grace a stage, but certainly the oldest living SAG card holder

Not so certainly...

Kevin McCarthy is 95, has a movie out this year, one in post-production and one currently filming.

Eli's a great actor; always lots of fun. But he was having a bit of hyperbolic fun, with that "oldest" thing.

I stand corrected:

Kevin McCarthy, certainly one of the greatest ever (true of MOST McCarthys) Kevin Mc also had "Leading Man" status which Eli W never garnered

Suffice it to say, they are the greatest and oldest working actors alive today

Gloria Stuart hasn't worked in decades...

Thanks - but don't you have someone else's work to plagarize? _blackeye

If, by "decades", you mean "5 years", then yes. She hasn't worked (according to IMDb) in 5 years.
