The Oscar winner, who died Sunday at the age of 95, had a broad television and film career, from comedies and animated children's shows to action films and Westerns.

Ernest Borgnine seemed born to play the heavy when he burst onto the Hollywood scene as "Fatso" Judson, a sadistic stockade sergeant who viciously beats a private to death in the 1953 movie "From Here to Eternity."

In his final film, The Man Who Shook The Hand Of Vincente Fernandez, Ernest Borgnine played a guy described as "Rex Page" - an old man bitter about never becoming famous and having lived a life without any meaning.

On Sunday, Hollywood lost Ernest Borgnine, the 95-year-old Oscar winner whose prolific career spanned more than six decades and more than 200 roles in television shows and feature films, including From Here to Eternity, McHale’s Navy, The Wild Bunch, The Dirty Dozen, and, more recently, even SpongeBob Squarepants. Despite being cast early in his career as a villain or “a heavy,” Borgnine ultimately defeated James Cagney, James Dean, Frank Sinatra, and Spencer Tracy for a best-actor Academy Award, in recognition of his performance as a socially awkward butcher in the 1955 romance Marty.
