    I know him best from The Poseidon Adventure. Sad to hear he's passed on, although 95 is an impressive age to reach.

    Eric Sykes, James Grout and now Ernest Borgnine. All good ages, and all will be sadly missed.

    That is were I remember him from as I use to love that show. I will probably have a few of his films in my DVD collection. Might have to fish them out.

    RIP Ernie - condolences to Tova. She was only on QVC a few weeks ago - I feel for her, they were together and married since 1973.

    Haha

    I meant readers in their 30's :D

    Not too sure we get many cbeebies viewers in here (apart from me that is having a 2 year old - and yes I know Spongebob is on Nick )

    He guest starred in loads of 70's/80's tv shows Magnum, Rockford Files, Murder She Wrote type shows.

    RIP, he was able to play some of the meanest bad guys in the movies and some of the most likeable good guys.

    Tonight I'll raise a glass to him while watching The Wild Bunch. RIP Ernie, sleep well.

    :D Cheers.

    I'll add: Ernest as Doorman Manny in 'The Single Guy' (1995 to 1997)
    http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Single_Guy

    And my favorite: Ernest as Quinton McHale in 'McHale's Navy' (1962 to 1966)
    Note: He served in the US Navy through WWII.

    Marty - one of the loveliest films ever.

    If you've never seen it - do watch it. Absolutely nothing like a film you'd watch today but still the same meaning. Black & white but a must-see.
