He is also a 33rd degree Master Mason, with membership in Lodge No. 48, Abingdon, Virginia (home of the venerable Barter Theater, where he got his start after distinguished service in the U.S. Navy during World War II as a Gunner's Mate).

I can’t believe that nobody’s mentioned his part in “Baseketball,” the movie by Zucker, Parker, and Stone (from Southpark and Orgasmo). Some really bad taste, but imagine a the minds behind Airplane and Southpark making a movie.

Until you’ve seen Ernest Borgnine sing and dance to Right Said Fred’s “I’m Too Sexy,” you haven’t seen Academy Award level comedy!

And he was also pretty good in ICE STATION ZEBRA.

Anyone see him on Fox and Friends this morning? Doocy asked him what his secret was to look so darn good at 91. Ernest said he was afraid to say, then whispered in Doocy's ear, however it could be heard. He said he-m@s%u#b!t$s alot! I thought everyone in the studio was gonna pass out!

Silly me, I figured his wife Tova plopped him in a vat of her lotions at night...
