Ernest Borgnine died today at age 95. And he worked to the end, doing voice work for Sponge Bob Square Pants and a movie completed this year. Looking at imdb.com, you can see he was appearing in four or five movies a year for the last several years.
He always seemed like a pleasant, likable actor. But look at him in The Wild Bunch or Bad Day at Black Rock. Or The Devil's Rain, for that matter. He could be scary when he wanted to be.
He was one of those actors, like Shirley Booth. They won Oscars but achieved their greatest success on television.
