Ernest Borgnine

Ernest Borgnine (born Ermes Effron Borgnino), with his gap-toothed grin and stocky build, became one of the world's most recognized and revered actors. He will be remembered as the bumbling Lieutenant Commander Quinton McHale in the popular TV series McHale's Navy and as Dominic Santini in the action series Airwolf, as the lovesick butcher in Marty and as vicious Sgt. 'Fatso' Judson in From Here to Eternity (1953)
