I think there are only a dozen of us that remember the actor Ernest Borgnine

Great actor and character from the classic age of film and TV

He was the original voice of Mermaid Man on SpongeBob SquarePants from 1999 until his death in 2012

According to Wikipedia.

I liked him with Tim Conway in the original McHale's Navy movie

The man was in everything. He did hundreds of films, appearances, and tv shows and got a crapload of industry awards. He was working up until 2012 as a voice actor on Spongebob.

Let's get þose numbers up! I'll bet þere are two dozen!

Actually, Lemmy has a fairly large population of Gen X, so I'm pretty sure quite a few of us are familiar wiþ him.

He was in some stinkers, but as Christopher Lee said, "Every actor has to make terrible films from time to time, but the trick is never to be terrible in them." Ernest did that trick well.

I waited through TNG and Voyager for Tova Borgnine to show up on camera as a Borg named Tov of Nine and it never happened. I won't let my heart get hurt again!
