A gentleman of the old school. He will be missed.

and he's such a class act. No mention of JMV's absolute implosion. Just speaks glowingly about him. They don't make hollywood actors like Ernest anymore.

R.I.P really loved him in airwolf he was a really modest actor something rarely found today

"They don't make 'em like they use to..." He is a legend!

I, too, grew up watching Airwolf. And even tho Ernest may have been an actor, he really seemed like a person with a warm personality. And i will surely miss him. Airwolf without him is'nt just the same. R.I.P. Ernest Borgnine. Gone but not forgotten.

Wow, Mr. Borgnine was a noble man for the way he complimented Jan-Michael Vincent. JMV had problems early into the 2nd season of Airwolf -- marital problems, alcoholism, showing up late to the set and, contrary to what Borgnine was saying, problems remembering his lines. He was the consummate professional in only telling the positive.

You can tell Ernest was a really nice guy. Reminds me of my Dad.

Met Ernie at a recent autograph convention in Chicago. He is as nice a guy in person as the character(s) he has played. Very open, genuine and warm! Love ya, Ernie!

i named my son dominic after is character he really made the show , i was born in 84 so now at the tender age of 30 ill always have my lil dominic santini running around to remind me of this great man , god bless thanx for the memorys

r.i.p. mr. Borgnine-you gave us all a lot of enjoyable movies and tv-especialy Airwolf and Dom!!!

He was 95 years old 2 weeks ago! Legend......I have just bought the boxset of Airwolf and feared he had died....how chuffed was I when I 'googled' Ernie to find he is alive and well......here's to a few more years at least Ern ;-) I am 35 so was 7 when this great series came out....best series of the 80's.....and today ;-)

Rip Ernest. Grew up watching airwolf. Sad he's gone.

Ernest was a one of a kind legend...His best movie was Marty...and the Wild Bunch ...he was just a special man...

Ernest has always been one of my all time favorite actors.. mostly due to his almost endless diversity in roles and their ranges. Of course, the first role that comes to mind when someone mentions his name, is his portrayal of the 'soft-hearted, (but always denying it), uncle-to-everyone' character from the TV show Airwolf, Dominic Santini.. But, following that memory, is probably my all time favorite character of his. Lyle 'Cottonmouth' Wallace (aka Dirty Lyle), a crooked sheriff. Great movie

well respected and will be missed..

Erny Borgnine. A Legend if ever there was one!

Ernest. The man, the myth, the legend. A good man and an Oscar winning talent. RIP

What a full spirit this man has. He still appears to have the youthful exuberance he displayed decades ago. If I live to be his age, I want to have the clearness of mind & spirit that Mr. Borgnine has. The world is better having him still with us and he doesn't show any sign of leaving anytime soon.

"The Lady" misses you Dom!

Love how the Russians were worried it was real... hehe. Great 'cold war' stuff!

RIP Mr. Santini, you will always be a legend!!!

Oh god i wish you were still in this world, you're a rare diamond and my hero... xx

He is such a legend :D

My favourite show as a kid, Ernest was a legend and was a privilege to see him do a cameo in RED

rip ernest i would have loved to met you my hero

he did a great job making airwolf! that was my most favourite show ever i didn't know why they cancel or anything but im glad they brought it back

one of my favorite tv shows airwolf watched every show

I sure miss you Dominic ///////////Great all time show 5 Stars /

wow....he looks the same as he was in movie in 80's. great to see him.

ERNEST BORGNINE. From biblical centurion roles to badass co-pilot of AIRWOLF. 😀(y)

Mr. Borgnine, You are a Awesome Soul! Much Love/ Respect to you, sir! :-)

Ernest Borgnine is the BEST actor, ever!

In all these years I don't think I've ever seen this clip, thankyou so much.

So Ernie really flew The Lady for 5 mins? Great stuff, thx for the upload TVLEGENDS!

LOVED him to, a great actor.

He was in every war film in my dads collection then Airwolf, Basekettball and just about every other film I loved...the man was a legend!

I always like this guy He looks real great for his years too. Long live Ernie......

Last night, i had a dream where Ernest appeared in and it got me crying because i know he is dead. 1 of my idols.that is dead. Now people tend to say that you can't control what you dream so i guess that that more or less means i really was a "Ernie" fan then.

Legend, what a fantastic guy.

Great interview of Ernie, thanks so much for sharing this! :)

thank you very much sharing :) Ernie

R.I.P SIR your a legend....

Ernie...You are Awesome...I am a BIG fan.....Ernie looks great...You dont look like you've aged a day...You still could do a great Dom.

Ernest Borgnine = legend

A great actor, a great man! Rest in peace Sir...

I miss him so

I LOVE HIS SHIRT. OLD HOLLYWOOD SURE HAD STYLE!

Great guy. Will be missed.

God bless Ernie x

A classy guy, RIP Ernie job well done.

@volvot5turbo I'm 35 too and watched the 2nd, 3rd, and 4th seasons in the mid to late 80s. So cool! All actors so lovable and those days were just golden ones. I bought Season 2 and 3 on DVDs few years back.

thank you for sharing this interview. I have all the airwolf episodes on DVD great stuff best wishes

RIP Rise in glory Ernest

Bring this show back on TV.Jan Michael Vincent is still my Hero.So what the heck happen Vincent.

A living legend.

So strange how I just watched this video a couple of days ago and now he's dead :< RIP, Ernie :

forever...ernest

I can't help but picture Mermaid Man when I hear his voice. R.I.P. man..

R.I.P...

Best show ever

EEEEVVVIILLLL!!!! Love this guy

He is always great to watch. Bring back Airwolf. Hollywood listening ???

@volvot5turbo Im too have young to see Airwolf when it was on TV, but I discovered it on Netflix and I love it.

It`s sad that we must live with many shit actors now but it is alot of good one still from the old times. But i wish that Ernest and Jan-Michael Vincent would be young like in airwolf and we could enjoy them alot since its not many good actors now days :( I will miss him and Vincent too. God bless Ernest heart i will always miss him :( He made my childhood perfect and im still watching airwolf on tv because they sending Airwolf at viasat4 here in norway everyday after midnight.

R.I.P Ernest Borgnine (Lyle Wallace) 10-4 good buddy !!!

R I P Dom...RIP Earnest

Stay with us Mr Santini, we need you!

R.I.P Dom

R.I.P. @ shory, so true.

another great from my childhood gone rip

Sweet.

The Russians being worried about Airwolf!? That's the power of marketing. Vot Iz zees AerVulf!? Vee hef to get wun!

Rest in Peace Mermaid Man.

He's still got a sharp mind! :)

RIP!

I'm a big fan of Mr. Borgnine! I didn't get a chance to check out Airwolf when it was on tv though. For me, his most memorable roles are 1) Sheriff Lyle Wallace- Convoy, 2) Cabbie- Escape From New York, and 3) "Mermaid Man"- Spongebob Squarepants! :-)

Ernest is ageless!

please make another airwolf i miss it lol

Ernie meant David Jones, not Tom Jones.

Someone animate mermaid man to match the words and overlay it please?

May he live for manny more years, of cours never longer thanhe wants to . But he's one of the last of a very special generation and a propper legend for all his film and TV work. Didn't he do a lot of Cow boy films in the 60's and 70's. And he's in the Posidon adventure too isn't he?? or am Icompletely wrong about that. Any way he's done loads a' GREAT STUFF!

Problem with a new Airwolf: No recent helicopter looks as sexy as the good old "Lady" Bell 222. Even the later Bell 430 is close, but not that sexy - probably because of the 4 bladed main rotor.

One Hoof, you are right though. I just wanted you to see it from what his perspective might have been.

Who couldn't like the man.

i would love to talk to someone that made airwolf i have a ideas to bring airwolf back and do it better that any one can i write the story and want to talk and meet them the other old tv show a manager of the the guy in the show loves my idea and i want to meet the maker of airwolf can someone help me out

Yes that's so true.... nothing more to say :)

R.I.P Mermaid Man!

RIP borg..

RIP

lomarty eternity vera cruz black vely man broke the mould with him made so many good films

r i p

Good interview, but Mr. Borgnine got some facts wrong. Of course he was like 93 years old and AIRWOLF had ended 25 years ago. Number one: AIRWOLF's lair was simply a washed out mesa that had formed into a cave it was not a volcano. Number two: AIRWOLF was a full sized $2.5 million dollar Bell 222A helicopter... Number three: miniatures and rc helicopters were only used for extreme seens such as AIRWOLF flying out of cave... because there was not a full sized cave. Good interview though...

marty, 1955, classic...rip

Mermaid man

You need back, Airwolf again in 2012... Same staff with new tecnologies... a long film... think about!

Santini? e_e

Stopped watching airwolf after 3 seasons. Couldn't take it anymore.
