Best fucking portrayal of a drill sergeant evar by far.
And it wasn't a stretch, the Gunny WAS one in his Marine career.Best fucking portrayal of a drill sergeant evar by far.
RIP.
His performance in Full Metal Jacket was an all-timer. His insults are ones that I find myself still using all the time.
Without him, the movie is not the same. Literally.

I have never seen that movie, but am going to have to watch it now. I assume the name of it is A Soldier's Story?His performance was not as great as Gunny's but Master Sergeant Waters from "A Soldier's Story" is my second favorite movie military character.
Yep that's the name. It's a very good movie. As you can see, there were quite a few well-known actors in this movie. David Alan Grier, Denzel Washington, Howard Rollins (Tibbs from In the Heat of the Night), Robert Townsend, etc.I have never seen that movie, but am going to have to watch it now.

No doubt. I'm just wondering how the hell I have never seen it.Yep that's the name. It's a very good movie. As you can see, there were quite a few well-known actors in this movie. David Alan Grier, Denzel Washington, Howard Rollins (Tibbs from In the Heat of the Night), Robert Townsend, etc.

That’s correct. It wasn’t acting for him it was him.Hate seeing this. Semper Fi Gunny.And it wasn't a stretch, the Gunny WAS one in his Marine career.
And the first and one of the VERY few times Stanley Kubrick allowed an actor to improvise on set and contribute his/her own dialog.That’s correct. It wasn’t acting for him it was him.
