Yes, but how could you forget his pinnacle of achievement? AIRWOLF was the most a$$-kickin' show to ever wave the cold-war-era flag of USA jingoism. Not even David Hasselhoff in KITT (the Knight Industries Two-Thousand!) could have beaten Borgnine and Airwolf! (And I doubt that Airwolf would have even FLINCHED at hordes of aliens with neon-blue destructo-beams.) Now if anyone could give me an idea of WHY that song is titled as "Theme from Ernest Borgnine", I'd be indebted. I mean, is it as simple as "cool song for a cool guy" or... am I missing some data? Dale on now: sunburn, solarcaine (damn!) oninmyhead now: Telex _Looney tunes_ "Temporary Chicken" (heh heh)
