Wallach grew up the son of Polish Jewish immigrants in an Italian-dominated neighbourhood in New York.
He earned a degree from the City College of New York and studied acting at the Neighbourhood Playhouse and the Actors Studio.
Despite his many years of film work, some of it critically acclaimed, Wallach was never nominated for an Academy Award but in November 2010, the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences awarded him an honorary Oscar.
