Leave it to SC to find
that clip!
Borgnine was a better actor than most gave him credit for and his down-to-earth manners were a genuine joy to watch in his interviews.
Absolutely. That clip certainly proves it! But seriously, what an incredibly versatile actor he was. And there was nothing of the affected Hollywood Star about him. No smarmy sex scandals, no run-ins with reporters or photographers - just a genuine person. The entertainment world could use more people like him.
Oddly enough, Sr. Vitelli and I were just talking about him last week.
True. I always thought it was amazing how he kept going (professionally) long after other, younger actors had retired. How many actors well past 90 still work? You could probably count them on the fingers of one hand. Obviously, he was blessed with good health and great genes.
Hollywood has lost a true legend. R.I.P.
