He deserves one.

Infectious positivity. :)

One of my fav shows...watched it every afternoon at 4:30pm!

He played one mean sum***** in Emperor of the North. Fantastic movie.

Poseiden Adventure, on the other hand, is best left forgotten.

He certainly was a class act. I think I've enjoyed everything I've watched him in.

When I was in Jr High, some girls that lived right down the street used to sing this to me. One girl said her mom had told her about the song when she had told her mom my name.

Remember seeing him on the Hollywood Freeway 40 years ago. His personalized license plate was "BORG9." I honked, he waved.

Don’t forget AirWolf. He played Dominic Santini of Santini Air.

Sweet! :) The top 10 lists are so quirky. The other day I was looking for the James Earl Jone's top 10 where he says "pusillanimous"

he was my buddy's dad's best friend.
buddy's dad was Jack Elam. i was told some stories that would make you rethink his worth. trust me - not pretty. ........ the worst parts involved Jack's really young daughter. - Jacqueline (RIP)
and? Jack was a rotten bastard, trust me.

You're saying Jack Elam was a bad person, but not Ernest Borgnine?

Ernest was also great in SpongeBob SquarePants alongside Tim Conway.

In his early days, Ernest performed at Barter Theater in Abington, Va.

Plus, he was a Freemason.

Great guy, better man.

My neighbor was in college and worked as a parking valet in Beverly Hills. Ernest Borgnine was a regular patron of the restaurant my neighbor parked cars. He said Ernest Borgnine always encouraged him to finish school and was a great tipper. When My friend told him he was graduating a couple years later. Ernest Borgnine gave him $200.00 dollars before he went into his car and whispered "I'm proud of you." The day my neighbor found out Ernest Borgnine died, his wife told me he cried. Class act Ernie.
