Same here. I think he was also in a few Westerns.

I'll never forget him in this movie

My fave role of his was in "The Poseidon Adventure."

My kids know him as the voice of Mermaid Man on "SpongeBob."

R.I.P.!!!!

I just heard about this.

and Ernest Borgnine..
in the last few days

Damn, i mentioned him in that scorpions thread as the best "age doesn't matter' example and then he dies...
(though it seems he finished his last movie "The Man Who Shook the Hand of Vicente Fernandez"

Great actor, lots of great movies and Airwolf. Poseidon Adventure, Wild Bunch, Marty.
He was also in Super Fuzz (it's called Supercop here in Germany) a fun movie with Terence Hill, the german overdub is hilarious

He was also Mermaid Man on Spongebob Squarepants.

Wow! Seemed like he'd live forever.

He was also in BASEketball. I love that movie. I'll need to watch it again one of these days.

MST3K was indeed a great show!

MST3K is one of my favorite TV shows.

I've got all the DVD box sets and will get any others that are released. I do prefer the Mike era but I've grown to appreciate the origionator, Joel.

I never did warm to the Mike-era; I've always preferred Joel. I think it's because his dry sense of humor more closely resembles my own.

I'll always remember him as the general in The Dirty Dozen, Cabbie in Escape From New York, & most recently as the keeper of the "super secret" government files in Red. Sadly, a person at work, who can probably name the last ten winners of The Bachelor asked if I'd "heard about the guy from Gilligan's Island dying."


Sometimes it's hard to keep the smack reflex in check when amongst the walking dead.

He was an incrediable actor and will really be missed.R.I.P

RIP
Loved Mchale's Navy!! They still play it on 40.2 here. He was in so many movies that I liked.

Never met the man personally, but I know a few guys that work behind the scenes at QVC and Mr. Borgnine (or Ernie as he told folks to call him) would show up at the studios with his wife Tova when she came in to hock her wares. They said he was always cool and personable and told great stories.

He will be missed.

he has a small part in the movie RED with Bruce Willis not long ago too
