"Hollywood legend Ernest Borgnine died Sunday at age 95 of renal failure, his rep told the Associated Press.\r\nThe actor passed away at Cedars-Sinai Medical Center surrounded by family.\r\nFamiliar to all for his gap-toothed smile, the brusquely built star frequently played the villain in movies like From Here to Eternity and Bad Day at Black Rock.  But he won a Best Actor Academy Award in 1955 for playing against type as a lovelorn butcher in Marty.\r\n\r\nThe son of Italian immigrants, Borgnine served in the U.S. Navy during World War II. After the war was over--following his mother&amp;apos;s advice---he turned to the dramatic arts, performing first on stage, then television and finally film.\r\n&amp;quot;I just want to thank my mother for giving me the idea to get into this wonderful profession,&amp;quot; Borgnine said during his Oscar acceptance speech.\r\n\r\nHe put his naval experience to good use as Lieutenant Commander Quentin McHale in the beloved TV show McHale&amp;apos;s Navy.\r\n\r\nOther memorable films in which he starred included The Dirty Dozen, The Wild Bunch, and The Poseiden Adventure; more recently, he voiced Mermaid Man in Spongebob Squarepants and had an Emmy-nominated turn on ER.\r\nBorgnine won a Lifetime Achievement Award from the Screen Actor&amp;apos;s Guild in 2010."^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
