Thank you everyone for the wonderful comments pop's loved his fans as he said many times he wouldn't have had the career if it wasn't for the fans. I never saw him turn down a photo op an autograph hell he just loved meeting people as he just considered himself a working stiff. I sure do miss him as well but am blessed to be able to see videos like this and hear that voice and his smile it makes me proud and honored to call him Dad.

Your dad was an awesome actor, storyteller and all around nice gentleman. As an Italian-American myself, I am proud that he was able to represent us in Hollywood in the most positive way possible…by being a true gentleman and actor. Coincidently, I was born and raised here in Connecticut not 3 miles from where your dad was born. He is one of our favorite sons!

Cris….I enjoyed you and your Dad on his bus across the Midwest. He never met a stranger. One of the funniest part of that series was you messing with your dad about a certain bug when you guys were standing and talking on some dirt road in Iowa. Great stuff and what a great memory you will always have with him on that trip. May your dad RIP!

I hope you see this comment Cris. I’m a serious film fan and your dad has always been one of my favorite actors. Everytime I see interviews he seemed like such a joyful person. Did he have a particular faith? I’ve seen him talk about his emotional experiences filming Jesus of Nazareth; so I always assumed he was a Christian. Hope to hear back from you. Blessings!

Bless your heart. I understand how you feel. My Daddy was a famous guitarist and musician in the 40s - 1970s in Country music. I lost him to cancer. I cherish the ability to hear his voice again in recordings. Your father was a very sweet genuine, honest man who was a fabulous actor. I count him as one of my favorites.

The man, the legend, that laugh. Still full of beans at 95, and one hell of a nice guy. RIP Mr Borgnine.

So full of life, still has that magical spark. Hard to believe he died just 2 months later :(

BE NICE TO PEOPLE! ERNIE I WILL TRY AND REMEMBER THIS!!!!

Borgnine was a Gentle Giant - One of my all time favorite actors and a genuinely likable nice guy - He looked Excellent at 95 it was that tough Italian blood ... RIP

I met him shortly before this interview as we were thinking on a Airwolf reunion movie. Sadly we waited too long and the networks were not interested. Ernest was one of a kind, a special man and yes that handshake like Adrian Peterson I remember it well. My god ten years already.

Its difficult to accept that he is no more, I don't know him personally, but Ernie made me believe that there are lot of good things in life ! His smile , his attitude , his persona(lity) kinda make me happy. He is one of a kind !

... On 08-July-2012 ... Just 9-weeks after this television appearance, Ernest Borgnine died from Acute-Kidney-Failure at Cedars-Sinai Medical Center in Los Angeles ... God-Bless him ... Such a like-able, friendly human being ...

This man is a symbol of great advice from past times ago. Everything he had to say was a classic piece of wisdom.

What a wonderful person.

One of the most beloved actors to ever grace the big screen, a kind person a friend to us all, Mr. Ernest Borgnine! I remember when he played Jonathan, a mountain hermit, on little house on the prairie. The dirty dozen, Poseidon adventure, the wild bunch, and the vikings. We all miss you Mr. Borgnine, you are never forgotten! RIP Ernie!

Be nice to people and they will be nice to you. WOW! Words for everyone to live by Thank you so much Ernest Borgnine!!

oe single act of kindness can lift a heavy heart

He looked so much younger than what he really was! I wish he was still alive.... :(

I had the opportunity to meet him. I shook his hand, and he told me not to squeeze so hard.; I am sorry, Ernest. You were truly a nice man, and your laughter lit up the entire room.

One of the greatest actors and just a great human being. God Bless Ernesto...RIP

Iconic actors like Borgnine took a piece of that beautiful era with him~ God Bless his soul 🙏

He was a remarkable person and a fantastic actor. He`ll be my favourite actor for ever. His films and shows are all amazing. Thanks for everything, Ernie. We miss you so much!

such a great man!, the world will never see one like him again!.,

I can listen and learn from his stories of life and acting 24-7 days,a week and want to hear more. I think you live to his age because you keep it simple, don't stress the small stuff, and just live life every day you get up ! Love this guy. A true class act.

"He's the Tiger of the Pacific, Quinton McHale!"

Great American Awesome Actor wonderful Human Being Thank u Ernie for all Fun an Good Memories GodBless ❤️🙏

He was remarkable in every project but beyond perfect in the brilliant film, Marty in 1955 for which he won the best actor award. All Ernest fans should watch this movie.

Yes, Janet, you are SO right!! My favorite part of that movie is the scene with his mother when he tells her, "I'm just a fat, ugly man" and she tells him, "you're not ugly." After he raises his voice to her, he pats her arm as if to say that he's sorry. Apparently that gesture was ad-libbed. I've seen the movie more times than I can count and I cry at the scene every time. That scene was also his audition when he got the part. If there was one actor I wish I could have met, it's him...well, also James Cagney! All of us watching this on youtube have wonderful taste! Hoping you're well, wherever you're located. Best wishes from Canada!

Wise words from a Truly Great man. Mr. Borgnine has always been 1 of my favorite actors. He seems genuine , sincere & you never heard scandal regarding him. The world is a little less nice with his passing, but heaven has gained a great soul. God Bless You Mr. Borgnine. May you Rest In Peace.

I am from Germany and i have many Movies with him on DVD and on Blu ray, i'm a Fan, he was a great Actor and this Interview with him is very nice. RiP Mr. Borgnine, Germany loves you too.

What a great Man. So happy to have been able to watch, all his great movies, TV, appearances, McHales Navy. Marty. Just loved him.

Down to earth Hollywood Star….Rip Earnest….best wishes and love to your. Love your work and your personality.Great guy!!! 👏👍🙏✌️🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿🙋🏻‍♂️

As for Mr. Borgnine, I have always been fascinated by the contrast between the bad and grim characters in his films and his true jovial and cordial character. Superb actor, actor of legend.

God bless u Ernest thanks for your kindness and for entertaining the World

95! Looks an sounds 70!!!

What a great guy ! Rest in Peace Ernie!

You talk about a great man and a man of TRUTH and honor who loved all and that's what God wants for us to love thy neighbor. Man oh man what great man. R I P Ernest Borgnine

A man with genuine charisma and menace in equal measure ( the parts he played).He looked like a real handful in his prime. I loved him when I was a kid in the 70s. ❤

What a Great Gentleman Class Act loved his videos driving his RV.

RIP Ernie. One of the best !!!

Mr. Borgnine was always my favorite actor. Just a nice human being with a great outlook on life. Recently, his last wife Tova, passed away. You could see why he loved her. Now there together, forever in Heaven.

Thank you for everything Ernest.... you will be missed!!! Rest in peace...

Your "pop's" was one of the most loved actors to ever hit the silver screen and tv! He seemed like the nicest man and very kind to everyone he met. I loved the documentary with his travels in his motorhome! Ernest was one of only very, very, very few I would have been honored to meet and that says alot! Im in my 60s and have seen just about everything he had done. I never get tired of watching him in old movies because the majority of the time he made that movie shine! "Pop's" is sorely missed and will forever be one of the greatest!

Legend... :) GREAT actor... Thanks for all the great times.... :) :) Soo much..!!!! He was sooooo great! :) :) enjoyed him sooo sooo much... Wished he would last forever!!! ... :( RIP... ( thanks for all the great stuff.... Awesome :) :) :) :)

I sure miss Ernie . He always had good things to say and great stories to tell and such an amazing actor. God Bless Ernest Borgnine.

Ernest Borgnine such a quality person with morals...look how he treats his fans.

God bless you Ernest...

I always wished if I had a Dad who cared that he was Ernest Borgnine. Miss you Ernie. The world is a smaller, sadder place without you.

He passed away at 95. But look at him, full of energy. He had a good life.

Wow talk about young at heart. He didn't seem as old as 95!

What a great talent this man was who could do stage, television, and movies interchangeably. I'll always remember his portrayal of Marty; so sympathetic and thoughtful. Rest in Peace Ernie.

Kidney failure, that explains it. Pretty sudden and irreversible. He looks like he would have made it to 100 or so without that.

I was stunned when he died I thought he will live untill 100 .I mean look at him there before he died he was full of energy and still moving and still makeing movies RIP Ernest Brognine 1917_2012

R.I.P Ernest! You were one of the greats!

Loved him on Little House on the Prairie episode, and movie Willard!

When he played Marty that was the best. He played it with lot's of heart ❤️

He was one of the best. My sister and I requested his autograph a few years ago and he not only signed both of the 8 by 10's, he included a personal note in both requests.

great man and brother

This does not look like a man two months from death. It must have happened very quickly. God bless you, Ernie. You were so filled with life. This clip proves it. R.I.P. - JG

What a amazing man

He gave me the best advice and I’m going to do it. What a awesome guy! I wish I had a friend like Ernie B. He convinced me to go out and travel and enjoy life. He will be missed, Thank for all the great shows!

Totally right about marriage. He might be not present to hug, but he will forever live on in all he gave to us all through his films and TV shows. Thank you for every one of them.

What a classy guy! I *love* the fact that he didn't have a favorite role - he liked them all. RIP - you brought a lot of joy to a lot of people, Ernie.

We need more people like him. Total class. He is missed.

A happy marriage, high energy, loved by the public, respected by his peers, and an ongoing career at age 95. What a full life.
