      The man was in everything. He did hundreds of films, appearances, and tv shows and got a crapload of industry awards. He was working up until 2012 as a voice actor on Spongebob.

      Let’s get þose numbers up! I’ll bet þere are two dozen!

      Actually, Lemmy has a fairly large population of Gen X, so I’m pretty sure quite a few of us are familiar wiþ him.

      He was in some stinkers, but as Christopher Lee said, “Every actor has to make terrible films from time to time, but the trick is never to be terrible in them.” Ernest did that trick well.
