so...i read his wiki entry and i now know his life story.

he actually had a more mainstream role than that one. .. he's the slinky dog in the first two toy story movies!

also, apparently those old Ernest commercials were"franchises" and he did dozens all over the country through an ad agency!

also, add "Ernest goes to Africa" to your watch list. ..i know it's on mine!

His life was pretty incredible. I read somewhere he smoked a minimum of 2 packs of cigarettes a day. I guess that's where the iconic voice came from.
