Ernest Borgnine died on this day 11 years ago, aged 95. - After graduating from high school in 1935, Borgnine joined the US Navy, and was honorably discharged in October of 1941. After Pearl Harbor, he reenlisted, and served until the end of World War II, where he would again receive an honorable discharge. - Having no idea what career to pursue after that, Borgnine's mother encouraged him to take up acting. His first role was in a 1947 production of State of the Union. - In 1951, Borgnine made the jump to TV, starring as a villain in the show Captain Video and His Video Rangers. A casting agent for Columbia Pictures saw him, and he soon made his film debut in The Whistle at Eaton Falls. In 1955, he would star in Marty, for which he would win an Oscar for Best Actor. - Borgnine would return to television, taking the title role of McHale's Navy in 1962. In the 1980s, he would also star in Airwolf opposite Jan-Michael Vincent. - To younger audiences, Borgnine is best known as the voice of Mermaid Man in SpongeBob. His sidekick Barnacle Boy was voiced by his McHale's Navy co-star Tim Conway: After his death, Nickelodeon reran every episode he guest starred in. - In 2009, Borgnine would be nominated for an Emmy for his role in the final episode of ER- aged 92 at the time, he is among the oldest people to receive an Emmy nomination. - Borgnine debuted on the DeathList in 2007, and made his second and final appearance in 2011.

Nah, I'd have mentioned it earlier in that case. And probably have had more insider info! She'd be a younger companion, but not *that* much younger...
