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.

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?

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.

No doubt. I'm just wondering how the hell I have never seen it.

It is an excellent movie.

Hate seeing this. Semper Fi Gunny.And it wasn't a stretch, the Gunny WAS one in his Marine career.

That’s correct. It wasn’t acting for him it was him.

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.
