Have an ice trip to heaven, Eli.
 
That ice pun.

Seriously though, even if you never watched any of his other roles, he was the first Mr. Freeze on television. That's gotta be something, right?

He will be missed.
 
I have a feeling that the Me TV channel will broadcast a tribute to him this Saturday at 7:00 PM EDT, just like how they broadcasted tributes to Russell Johnson (Gilligan's Island), Mickey Rooney (a 1963 Twilight Zone episode that he appeared in) and Ann B. Davis (The Brady Bunch) this past year.
 
I watched the latter half of one of the Freeze episodes a while back on MeTV.
 
Yes, he was in several great movies.

Though it's hard not to be when you're in the business for 65 years.
 
Well, I'm currently watching the second part of a season two two-part Mr. Freeze episode on Me TV right now-and yes, they're doing that in tribute to Wallach.

UPDATE: The tribute has officially been royally ruined-Me TV's transmitter failed during the last few seconds-and it still hasn't been fixed.
 
What kind of zany scheme would Mr. Freeze have involving ruining MeTV's transmitter during the tribute to his actor?

Due to the disruption everyone ends up forgetting about him, this gives Mr. Freeze motive to freeze them all for not remembering a big part of him.
