Helluva part he played in FMJ

Was telling my wife about that earlier. Tried to explain who he was. How iconic that character was. Yeah she thinks I’m a tool.

RIP

RIP! Guy played a hell of a part in that movie. Just as I remember when I went through boot camp.

Yep, I enjoyed his show too. Felt really bad, and as another poster said, I told my wife about it, and she had no idea who he was.

Great character actor and his shows are fun to watch. I think I read that most of his part in FMJ was unscripted and he just went off on the other actors like he would new recruits when he was a gunny. The guy was a modern art masterpiece. RIP.

Huh . . . . I thought Vincent D'Onofrio shot him in the bathroom with an M16. Oh. Forgot. Full Metal Jacket was only a movie . . . .

I watched that just the other day.

It was a great movie, and it was an M-14.


RIP Gunny, semper fi

He left early to be an honor guard for Barbara Bush

Was kinda strange to see him in Saving Silverman, but funny.

Friend of mine ran into him outside LAX. They were both waiting to be picked up and just chatted for a while.
