I had the pleasure of meeting the man just a few months ago. He signed my copy of The Poseidon Adventure. Super cool guy, and quite with it for 95 years old!
Rest in peace, Ernie.

This was my favorite Ernest Borgnine moment from 4 years ago when he was on Fox and Friends. He talked about his secret to aging well...and well....just watch and listen for yourself.

RIP Santini Air...
You wouldn't see a subtle plan if it painted itself purple and danced naked on top of a harpsichord, singing "Subtle Plans Are Here Again."

I was thinking about this clip the moment I saw the truncated headline that Borgnine had died at 95, and was hoping someone would post it.
When you think back on how many movies the man appeared in, how late into his career he worked and stayed active, and how many of his contemporaries died years ago...this man won. Rest in peace.
@Wojo: stop being facetious.

OH God, Joe is posting again, someone hand me my pills!
"You're not John Conner, I saw you die, said Kyle". "I was only injured, replied John". "No, your injuries were too severe, you died. Look at you, where are your injuries? You're, you're a Terminator." "Kyle, its still me, yes my body was beyond repair, but my essence is here." He points to his head. "No John". Kyle raised his pulse rifle and aimed it at John but before he could fire, John fired first. Knocked to the ground Kyle looked up at the Terminator in the form of the man he once idolized. All hope was lost. "If you kill me how will you ever be born?" "Thats a good question Kyle, all this time we've focus on Sarah, on John, when had we known the it was you we should have targeted all along." John pointed his rifle at Kyle's face. "The resistance is finished, the battle is won. We the machines are the victors, salvation is ours." Kyle never heard the second shot.

I love it! It's great, cause, he had obviously hit that point in his life where his philosphy was "Screw it! What are they going to do to me!?"

The first time I recall watching him was in "The Black Hole". At the time, besides the robots, the thing that always catch the eye of a kid, it was his character that really grabbed my attention.
Ever since, always loved his performances.
May he rest in peace.

Yes he was. He was still making public appearances, too.
