RIP Ernest Borgnine

Post by Gob »

Oscar-winning actor Ernest Borgnine, whose career spanned more than 60 years, has died, his spokesman has said.

He died of renal failure in a Los Angeles hospital with his family by his side, his spokesman Harry Flynn told the Associated Press.

Mr Borgnine, who was 95 years old, continued acting until recently with a role in the hospital drama ER in 2009.

He won an Oscar in 1955 for his role in the film Marty.

Borgnine was also known for his roles in The Wild Bunch and The Poseidon Adventure.

His TV series McHale's Navy was also a major success in the United States.

Catch him in "Bad Day at Black Rock"

His "up against" the late Spencer Tracy are oscar-quality. :ok

Your collective inability to acknowledge this obvious truth makes you all look like fools.

95 is good innings! RIP
