RIP Ernest Borgnine who died on Sunday at the age of 95.
Even the young folks know this one even if they don't realize it. Since 1999 he has been the voice of Mermaidman on "SpongeBob SquarePants." (Not one of my favorite shows but the fact that Mr. Borgnine had a role gave it some redeeming quality for sure).
The Ernest Borgnine I remember is the one who played Lt. Commander Quinton McHale in "McHale's Navy" and General Worden in "The Dirty Dozen." He is also well known for his role as Sgt. 'Fatso' Judson in "From Here to Eternity." He made guest appearances on "Little House on the Prairie" and "The Love Boat." He was a working actor from 1951 up until 2012 (his last work "The Man Who Shook the Hand of Vincent Fernandez" is listed as completed on imdb but no information on when it is to be released.)
Impressive accomplishment I think. The man continued to find interesting work for years. And the changes he witnessed in the industry over that time.
Thank you Mr. Borgnine for all your hard work. We enjoyed watching you.
