I will definitely check out "The Lineup."

I saw him almost 20 years ago Off-B'way in "Visiting Mr. Green." He was terrific. I and my friend waited outside the theater after for his autograph and he was very kind. As coincidence had it, I saw his wife not long before in "Mr. Peter's Connection" (with Peter Falk!) and she was also incredibly kind and classy after the show to an overenthusiastic, fresh out of college kid. Both shows didn't get the greatest of reviews (though I liked them both a lot) and I remember Mr. Wallach made very sure I understood it was the play the critics didn't like, not his performance. Hee hee.

RIP. A great actor.
