May he rest in peace. I loved his movies when I was a kid. Sad to know that he´s no longer here with us.

May he rest in peace, but I've never been able to forgive this man since his role in 1971's "Willard". Nevertheless, may he rest in peace.

I think it's my fault. I watched 'The Black Hole' the other night, a day later, he was dead.

I think I'll watch Risky Business tonight.

Wishing somebody dead in an obituary thread. Pure class.

And The Wild Bunch.

I wonder if any newspapers will honor his wish:

"As a legacy, on the day I die, I'd like to have a newspaper publish all the things that I find wrong in the United States today. And my first would be to get rid of the politicians. We put politicians into Congress and the Senate for what? For representation. But who do they represent? They represent not only their party, but the people who give them the money, the lobbyists." -- Ernest Borgnine

Truer words were never spoken....

RIP

Absolutely. A truly wonderful film - and he is magnificent in the title role.

TCM’s 10-film memorial tribute is set to begin at 6 a.m. (ET) with The Catered Affair (1956). The daytime lineup will include such films as Torpedo Run (1958), Ice Station Zebra (1968) and The Dirty Dozen (1967). Primetime will kick off with an encore presentation of TCM's 2009 special Private Screenings: Ernest Borgnine, an hour-long, in-depth interview with the actor and TCM host Robert Osborne. It will be followed by Borgnine's Oscar®-winning performance in Marty (1955), as well as memorable roles in films like From Here to Eternity (1953), The Wild Bunch (1969) and Bad Day at Black Rock (1955).

Thanks for this Genesia def gonna tune in!

For an actor who could nail some not so likeable character performances, he seemed like such a sweetheart in all of his interviews.

I remember seeing him quite a few times on QVC with Tova when she was selling her fragrances. They were an adorable couple and his big bright smile was infectious. RIP Ernest

Maybe it was because EB had a reputation as such a lovely and charming man that he was able to feel free to play that kind of character to the hilt. He knew people would know that wasn't really how he was - so he could just dive into it.

I've played some very unsympathetic characters in my time on the stage - and I always have a hard time being unrelentingly horrible. I'm always trying to find a reason for someone to behave badly. I have a hard time putting it down to pure evil - especially if I identify with the character, in any way.

RIP

RIP, great actor, specially when he played nasty, creepy and/or edgy characters

he had a long life, wow 95 years old, a true symbol of the Old Hollywood

Marty was a great movie. RIP Ernest.

Condolences to his family. What a cherished life and career. RIP

RIP 'Cabbie'
