Default Re: MOvie & Tv Legend Ernest Borgnine : Passes Away at 95

I can't help but wonder how many, if any, people know that he also did the voice for Mermaid Man on Spongebob Squarepants? Not that I ever like the show, but when I heard that he was there, I started wondering why did he take on the part. And as for parets in biblical epics, I saw Barrabas not long ago & couldn't take my eyes from him. It was as if that part had been written just for him & he played it so well. I also saw the updated treatment of McHales Navy with Tom Arnold & Borgnine played his dad. I actually liked it & normally I don't much care for things with Tom Arnold in it. One thing that he reminded me of is a rough, tough grandfatherly type. You couldn't help but like him.
