Ernest Borgnine is an American actor of television and the big screen.(born January 24, 1917)
His career has spanned nearly six decades. He was an unconventional lead in many films of the 1950s, including his Academy Award-winning turn in the 1955 film Marty. On television, he is best known for playing Quinton McHale in the 1962-66 series McHale's Navy, costarring in the mid-1980s action series Airwolf, and voicing the character Mermaid Man in the animated series, SpongeBob SquarePants. Borgnine earned an Emmy nomination at age 92 for his work on the series ER. In August 2009 at age 92 he earned the Lifetime Achievement Award from the Rhode Island International Film Festival.(wikipedia)
Latest from Ernest borgnine is SNL’s notoriously unfunny “What’s Up With That?” sketch, featuring a talk show host portrayed by Keenan Thompson who won’t let his guests speak, saw a pair of legendary guests in Morgan Freeman and Ernest Borgnine, whose job was to sit there and not be allowed to speak. The pair of Academy award winning actors were on hand to promote their new movie RED, and were joined by a creepily fictionalized send up of Fleetwood Mac’s Lindsey Buckingham.
Freeman actually got off a decent monologue before Keenan’s motor-mouth character began singing over him, before the sketch dissolved into the same shtick it always does. But while “What’s Up With That?” is one of the worst SNL sketches of its era, the looks on the faces of Morgan Freeman and Ernest Borgnine were priceless after the whole thing dissolved into host Bryan Cranston dancing around in his underwear.
