Yeah he made a great barbarian king in that one. He was a pretty good bad guy too. Remember him in "From Here to Eternity"? The only time I ever felt sorry for Sinatra. :)

Look what came up on the same page as the clip Reece posted

there is some thing special that Ernest Borgnine brings onto the screen every time he walked on, he always seems to hold my attention, It must be a gift of some kind, F+1 in the "Wild Bunch", unforgetable.

RIP Ernest :wah:

A great actor who leaves me with many great memories.

RIP Sir

No sad memories, just happy ones. Enjoy this clip I found.

RIP:salute:!
A great and fine actor!

R.I.P Mr Bolognaisin.. (noone in my family could ever pronounce his name so this is our pet name for him)

Just watched him in Torpedo Run with Glen Ford....

Anyone remember him as 'Cabby' from 'Escape from New York' ?

Cheers

Gary

R.I.P. :(


I remember him mostly from Airwolf.

He was also in an episode of Magnum P.I. in the 3rd season.

Rest in peace, good sir. McHale's Navy was/is still one of my favorites. :cry:

RIP Mr. Borgnine...you've earned your rest...

Consider the other actors and their films he beat out for the Best Actor Oscar in 1955:

James Cagney ("Love Me or Leave Me")
James Dean ("East of Eden")
Frank Sinatra ("Man With the Golden Arm")
Spencer Tracy ("Bad Day at Black Rock")

BTW, Ernest Borgnine was one of the first 'name' actors to lend his voice to "The Simpsons" early on in its run...

...

I believe Borgnine was in that last movie as well.

yes he was.

I just happened to see that movie for the first time a few weeks back, has many actors who became quite well known. Lee Marvin is sitting in the back.

Everybody is talking about this McHale's Navy and I presume your are refering to the old version. But are you talking about the movie(-66) or the serie (-62-66)?

If it's the movie or the serie I'm going to try to get my hand of a copy of both.

I have seen alot of american series from the 60'ies on german tv in the beginning of the 70'ies however I can't remember everyone, due to my age.

Oh, the old series, without question. He did have a bit part in the new movie, but it was awful. The series was made just for him, and featured a host of great comic actors, including the wonderful Tim Conway. Quintin McHale, played by Borgnine, was pretty much the straigt man.

Here's a taste:
