Personal Quote:
Everyone thinks acting is easy. It's far from easy, but it's the most gratifying thing I do. See more »Trivia:
Wallach played Sakini for a year in the London cast of "Teahouse of the August Moon." Among the aspiring young actors from the Royal Academy of Dramatic Arts who worked backstage with scenery were Alan Bates, Peter O'Toole, and Albert Finney. Wallach later succeeded David Wayne in the part in the Broadway production. See more »Trademark:
