Washington, D.C.: National Archives and Records Administration, 2012, roll 2601. He received several medals for his service.
Ernest moved back into his parents’ home and eventually took a job in a factory. He began as a boy and had an extensive collection of Russian and Cuban stamps that he collected during the Cold War.
He even was involved with one or two national stamp-collecting groups.

It wasn’t until years later that I realized I didn’t have to compete!
“Ernie was still very polite under all that garish wardrobe, very gentlemanly, and very persistent. I wanted to improve myself all I could, to better my rank. I didn’t know whether I was glad or sorry. Ernie just isn’t that kind of a man. He began his small-screen career in 1950 and made his last television appearance in 2012.
Today we are talking about the amazing career of Ernest Borgnine.
Borgnine was born Ermes Effron Borgnino in 1917 in Connecticut. In between, he did made movies and appeared on Broadway. McThing, American National Theatre and Academy Theatre, New York City, 1952
Also appeared in Harvey, American National Theatre and Academy Theatre.

I could see marrying a doctor, a lawyer or a businessman. It reflects itself in everything she does. In a way it was like still being in the service. Ernie’s career as an actor was engendered because of an almost casual bit of advice his mother had given him after he’d left the Navy.
He had been trying all sorts of things, to find himself, and she had wisely stood by, waiting for the chance to tell him what she thought he’d be best suited for.
She asked one day, “Why don’t you try to become an actor, Ernie?
I don’t want him to become a member of the Hollywood Ulcers Club!”
Teaching Ernest Borgnine how to relax goes hand in hand with Rhoda’s personal betterment program. At night, he wants to sit in the same chair, in the same place, and watch television. We both feel that we are maturing, settling into our marriage without a lot of the wrangling and readjustment that a lot of other people in our position go through.
He’s not too fond of going out. I got the mink coat, too. Starring opposite Jan-Michael Vincent, he played Dominic Santini, a helicopter pilot.
A decade later, he tried it again with The Single Guy where he played Manny Cordoba for two seasons.
He won an Emmy for his role on ER as Paul Manning.
