Ernest Borgnine RIP
Vigo:
How is that possible that you are a movie buff and never heard of Ernest Borgnine?
I think it is appropriate that I quote Ernie for this: "You kids with your loud music, and your Dan Fogelberg, your Zima, hula hoops and pac-man video games!"
:dizzy:
shmokes:
Because his resume consists almost exclusively of things like bit parts in Touched By an Angel? We can do this all day. ;D
Also, who is Don Fogelberg?
Vigo:
Well, then quit looking at the tv guest appearances of a 95 year old actor. You can find twice the number of crappy tv guest spots looking at tim curry's imdb.
Have you not seen the Dirty Dozen or Flight of the Phoenix. How about McHale's Navy?
shmokes:
No, Yes, No.
It's not just a 95 year old actor. It's like the last 40 straight years of his career (aka longer than I've been alive). Anyway, I simply don't know the name of every single actor (no matter how small the role) in every single thing I've ever seen. Especially for a movie I saw almost a decade ago that was a piece of garbage . . . wait, lol, I saw the crappy remake of Flight of the Phoenix, not the original. But, christ, even looking at the original, Borgnine didn't even star in that film. He just had a supporting role as "Trucker Cobb". How am I even supposed to take you people seriously with examples like that? I'm supposed to know the name of an actor because he had a supporting role in a 45 year old movie! I think y'all doth protest too much. :P
Mysterioii:
We all knew his name... Despite your assertion that nobody would. ;D Do you know who Mickey Rooney is? Not Andy Rooney, the other Rooney.
IMO Borgnine was famous BECAUSE he was a supporting guy, B-movie type for most of his career. Trust me, none of us went out of our way to learn who he was, we just knew... because for our whole frickin' lives the guy's been popping up all over the dang place... :lol
