Ernest Borgnine, the rough-hewn actor who seemed destined for tough-guy characters but won an Academy Award for embodying the gentlest of souls, a lonely Bronx butcher, in the 1955 film Marty, died on Sunday in Los Angeles. He was 95.

Good night, Ernie
Still one of my favorite movie scenes of all time, I guess because I feel Marty's pain.

It was a great movie -- and no one could have done the role of Marty better than Ernie did. I think he was generally underrated as an actor by the general public. Fortunately, his peers understood and gave him a well-deserved Oscar.
