Another great actor now passed on to be with even greater company.

Ernest was in one of the best western movies of all time: 'The Wild Bunch'.

RIP Ernest.

Very bummed about this. I was a huge fan and by all accounts he was a great, great person. May he rest in peace.

Rest in peace, Ernest Borgnine. You will be missed.
Regardless of how good a PC game may be it will always have its detractors and no matter how bad a PC game may be it will always have its fans.

I will always remember him as Cabbie. It blows my mind that in Escape from NY he was already 65!! A nice long life. RIP

Lavender flight suits.

Now that's retro! I'm thinking we need to bring those back as GrogHeads uniforms. Who's with me?

BTW, dibs on the eye patch!

Sorry Chief. You're on your own there. I'm kind of attached to the current GH mod uniform.
