He was noted for his gruff but calm voice and gap-toothed Cheshire Cat grin. A popular performer, he also appeared as a guest on numerous talk shows and as a panelist on several game shows.
Borgnine's film career began in 1951, and included supporting roles in China Corsair (1951), From Here to Eternity (1953), Vera Cruz (1954), Bad Day at Black Rock (1955) and The Wild Bunch (1969).

He was known as the original voice of Mermaid Man on SpongeBob SquarePants from 1999 until his death in 2012.

Robert "Bob" Francis Hastings (April 18, 1925 – June 30, 2014) was an American radio, film, and television character actor. He also provided voices for animated cartoons. He was best known for his portrayal of annoying suck-up Lt. Elroy Carpenter, on McHale's Navy.
Hastings was born in Brooklyn, New York, a son of Charles and Hazel Hastings, Sr. His father was a salesman. Hastings started in radio on "Coast-to-Coast on a Bus" (NBC). Hastings served during World War II in the United States Army Air Corps. After serving in World War II as a navigator on B-29s, he played the role of Archie Andrews in a series based on the Archie comic book series on the NBC Red Network, later just the NBC Radio Network, after NBC divested itself of its Blue Network in 1942. Archie Andrews was sponsored by Swift & Company food products. Hastings moved to television in 1949, performing in early science-fiction series, including Atom Squad. His first recurring role was as a lieutenant onPhil Silvers' Sergeant Bilko series in the late 1950s. At that time he guest-starred on Walter Brennan's ABC sitcom The Real McCoys.
Carl Ballantine was an American magician, comedian and actor. Billing himself as "The Great Ballantine", "The Amazing Ballantine" or "Ballantine: The World's Greatest Magician", his vaudeville-style comedy routine involved transparent or incompetent stage magic tricks, which tended to flop and go "hilariously awry" to the wisecracking Ballantine's mock chagrin. He has been credited with creating comedy magic and has influenced comedians and magicians alike.

Claudine Georgette Longet (born January 29, 1942, Height 5 ft 3 in [1.60 m]) is a Franco-American singer, actress, dancer, and recording artist who rose to prominence during the 1960s and 1970s. She captivated audiences with her talent and beauty, leaving a lasting mark on the entertainment industry. Born in Paris, France, Longet started her career as a dancer and model before transitioning to acting. Her first acting roles were in television shows like McHale's Navy and The Andy Williams Show. In 1964, she appeared in the film adaptation of McHale's Navy, further expanding her reach.
In 1961, Longet married American singer and television personality Andy Williams. This marriage opened doors for her musical career, and she began recording albums and appearing on The Andy Williams Show. Her music, primarily pop and bossa nova, gained traction, with hits like "Meditation" and "A Man and a Woman."
Longet enjoyed a close friendship with Robert F. Kennedy and his wife, Ethel Kennedy. This association, coupled with her marriage to Andy Williams, placed her in the spotlight of American society. However, her life took a tragic turn in 1976 when she was convicted of negligent homicide in the shooting death of her boyfriend, former Olympic skier Spider Sabich.
On March 21, 1976, Claudine Longet shot her boyfriend, Olympic skier Vladimir "Spider" Sabich, at his home in Aspen, Colorado. The details surrounding the incident remain somewhat unclear, but Longet claimed the shooting was accidental, stating the gun went off while she was trying to unload it.
After a lengthy trial, the jury found Longet guilty of negligent homicide, a lesser charge than initially presented. She was sentenced to pay a small fine and serve 30 days in jail, which the judge allowed her to choose at her own convenience.
She married businessman Ronald D. Austin in 1985 and has largely remained out of the public eye.
Despite the controversy surrounding her personal life, Claudine Longet's talent and accomplishments stand out. Her music continues to be enjoyed by fans, and her legacy as a multi-talented entertainer remains intact.
Sandy-haired, tall and burly George Harris Kennedy, Jr. was born in New York City, to Helen A. (Kieselbach), a ballet dancer, and George Harris Kennedy, an orchestra leader and musician. He had German, Irish, and English ancestry. A World War II veteran, Kennedy at one stage in his career cornered the market at playing tough, no-nonsense characters who were either quite crooked or possessed hearts of gold. Kennedy notched up an impressive 200+ appearances in both TV and film, and was well respected within the Hollywood community. He started out in TV westerns in the late 1950s and early 1960s: Have Gun - Will Travel (1957), Rawhide (1959), Maverick (1957), Colt .45 (1957), among others; before scoring minor roles in films including Lonely Are the Brave (1962), The Sons of Katie Elder (1965) and The Flight of the Phoenix (1965). The late 1960s was a very busy period for Kennedy, and he was strongly in favor with casting agents, appearing in Hurry Sundown (1967), The Dirty Dozen (1967) and scoring an Oscar win as Best Supporting Actor for his performance in Cool Hand Luke (1967). The disaster film boom of the 1970s was kind to Kennedy, too, and his talents were in demand for Airport(1970) and the three subsequent sequels, as a grizzled cop in Earthquake (1974), plus the buddy/road film Thunderbolt and Lightfoot (1974) as vicious bank robber Red Leary.
The 1980s saw Kennedy appear in a mishmash of roles, playing various characters; however, Kennedy and Leslie Nielsen surprised everyone with their comedic talents in the hugely successful The Naked Gun: From the Files of Police Squad! (1988), and the two screen veterans hammed it up again in, The Naked Gun 2½: The Smell of Fear (1991), plus Naked Gun 33 1/3: The Final Insult (1994).
Kennedy remained busy in Hollywood and lent his distinctive voice to the animated Cats Don't Dance (1997) and the children's action film Small Soldiers (1998). A Hollywood stalwart for nearly 50 years, he is one of the most enjoyable actors to watch on screen. His last role was in the film The Gambler (2014), as Mark Wahlberg's character's grandfather.
George Kennedy died on February 28, 2016 in Middleton, Idaho.
