:*( I Loved His Work. A Very Underrated Actor.
It is amazing that Ernest Borgnine won a Best Actor Oscar in only his fourth year of acting. This has been a rough week with the loss of Andy Griffith and Ernest Borgnine in less than a week.
It certainly has. The fact that these two men were icons makes it that much more difficult to digest.
I loved him. Was especially fond of him doing voice over work for Mermaid Man on Sponge Bob.
