Dave James Posted July 8, 2012 Report Share Posted July 8, 2012 (edited) Quinton McHale will be steering the great PT boat in the sky. Nice career. Oscar winner and huge TV star. Still relevant as recently as the latest MIssion Impossible film. http://www.nytimes.com/?emc=na Edited July 8, 2012 by Dave James Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When I refresh the page, I briefly see a still shot from "Marty", but then it loads as the playlist I referred to. Weird... never seen this happen before.

Tim McG Posted July 9, 2012 Report Share Posted July 9, 2012 (edited) My brother and I were just glued to the TV set when McHale's Navy came on. Ernest Borgnine was the perfect straight man to Tim Conway and Joe Flynn. Rest in Peace, Mr. Borgnine.

mikelz777 Posted July 9, 2012 Report Share Posted July 9, 2012 I'll always remember him from McHale's Navy but he made his biggest impression on me playing Shack in The Emporer Of The North Pole with Lee Marvin and Keith Carradine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, not working for me. I get Star Trek reboot, then Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy. Didn't stick with it long enough to see if Marty was in the queue or not...

brownie Posted July 9, 2012 Report Share Posted July 9, 2012 Apart from 'Marty', Borgnine was the villain in many of the movies I saw when I started getting interested in films ('From Here to Eternity', 'Johnny Guitar', 'Bad Day at Black Rock', among others). I already miss him... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

robertoart Posted July 9, 2012 Report Share Posted July 9, 2012 (edited) RIP Ernest. Your gruff features and voice will forever be a part of my childhood tv and movie memories. Anyone remember Barabbas? Borgnine (and others like Tony Curtis and Anthony Quinn's) presence in these type of epic 'swords and sandals' movies makes me smile now, especially when I look back on the incongruities of their streetwise and hard bitten American vernacular Edited July 9, 2012 by freelancer Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
