Asked about his acting methods in 1973, Mr. Borgnine told The New York Times: “No Stanislavsky. I don’t chart out the life histories of the people I play. If I did, I’d be in trouble. I work with my heart and my head, and naturally emotions follow.”

Sometimes he prayed, he said, or just reflected on character-appropriate thoughts. “If none of that works,” he added, “I think to myself of the money I’m making.”

Sad to see him go.

I wonder if he stopped masturbating.

He was the best thing about "The Poseidon Adventure."

+1 Mike, although Gene Hackman was also pretty intense. Wow, I need to watch that one again soon.
