Ernest Borgnine

Thanks for the post, nomobux.

Seems like those who really have a passion for traditional hot rodding also have a very healthy passion and respect for everything and everybody that has come before us...our history. There are images, sounds, people, etc. that will never be again. And when a piece of that history is taken from us...and Mr. E. B. was certainly part of that history...we feel the loss.

God bless Eernest Borgnine.

 

Thanks for the post, this is the only way that some of us would find out about Mr. Borgnine's. You see 99% of us on here are like family, we tell each other important things and share our lifes with each other, and the hell with the other 1% that doesn't like anything....Ray...Rest in Peace Mr. B., you earned it....

 

Loved McHales Navy of course, but always looked forward to his later recurring role on Home Improvement when he was teamed up with Jack Elam. Shame those two didn't get to work together more often.

Rest in peace, Mr. Borgnine.

 

May He Rest In Peace. He was a kool cab driver in Escape to new York and a great Actor.

 

No more Mermaid Man.

 

R.I.P. Ernest, always enjoyed your work!!

 

Chief Petty Officer, United States Navy. Not too many people know that about him.

 

rest in peace MR Borgnine i liked him in convoy, and airwolfe and just about everything else i saw him in awesome actor

 

One of the best fight scenes ever between his character and that of Spencer Tracy. Equally as good as that found in the original Manchurian Candidate. Far more plausible and realistic than the fantasy fight choregraphy that goes on in todays releases.

 

Want me to bring this thread on topic?...Ernest's license plate number was Borg 9...there, now this thread relates to cars...fucking crybabies...R.I.P. Mr. Borgnine...

 

"nobody messes with the Duke, everyone knows that"

 

He was a great man and a great actor, he will be missed. I may be a Fng, but there is more to life than just traditional hotrods

 

AMen. Thanks for your post. RIP Ernie

 

R.I.P. Ernie

 

Worked once on Airwolf with him. What a nice man. R.I.P. Mr Borgnine

 

OH,I don't know--maybe he was a great actor from our childhood,when our parents or ever ourselves drove ON TOPIC cars to drive ins which stared Ernest Borgnine & many others,

REST IN PEACE Ernest Borgnine

 

another great gone he was a great actor if you get the chance to see marty and then see him in the evil roles he played you will see what i mean R.I.P ERNEST BORGNINE

 

McHale's Navy was funny, but it was the 10 years he spent in the real Navy that helped make Ernest Borgnine such a great guy, and a guy who never let Hollywood go to his head. He never forgot the military men he served with, or those who served later. Not many left like him.
RIP. A true American legend.

 

Here's something to lighten the mood.


And a bit of his On The Road series.

 

What an incredible man, who entertained so many of us all, during his very long and respected career. R.I.P.

 

First Andy and now Ernie, we will never see the likes of them again. Their generation was one of kind, the greatest.

 

Great Actor. R.I.P.

 

Maybe he's not connected to Hot Rodding, but what a great actor/person! I could only wish I can have a resume like his!

 

This sucks, I just watched The Wild Bunch on Friday.

 

Erinie's gone ?!?

Damnit!

 

I've never forgotten watching Flight of the Phoenix late at night around 1970 on a b&w tv when I was a teen. I sure as hell won't remember anything Tom Cruise ever did.
RIP and thank you sir

 

Ooops, yeah I should have checked that before posting, still very funny stuff!

 

My personel favorite Borgnine movie. Dutch Engstrom character was made for him. He was one of those actors you would say "he was in that movie too?" R.I.P. Dutch

 

Also not known by many Mr. Borgnine was a Freemason and a 33rd° Scottish Rite Mason. The Supreme Council awards the 33° as a way of honoring outstanding and selfless work performed in the Rite or in public life.

 

By the power of Neptune, RIP mermaid man.
