Actor Ernest Borgnine dead at 95
(CNN) -- Film and television actor Ernest Borgnine, who won an Academy Award for his portrayal of a lovelorn butcher in 1955's "Marty," has died at age 95, his manager said Sunday.

I always liked him, he is most memorable to me as the cabby in Escape From New York and Rogo in The Poseidon Adventure.
The only thing I remember him in is The Devil's Rain, which I loved.
Yeah but your biased to old people wearing Satanic robes.
Ha-ha, Cat. Man, another star down! Makes me feel old...
He was hilarious in that Simpson's episode!
is it just me or are they going in 5's instead of 3's
Cripes, I think we might be into double digits this year.
Ernest Borgnine was great and he was in goddamn everything. He's got 203 titles listed on his imdb page. I think my favorites are Escape from New York and Deadly Blessing, in which he played a crazy hyper-Amish holy roller.
