Full Metal Jacket. Great movie made all the better that he was in it.
He was great in other movies as well...

I have a feeling he always played the same character but that is also what was so great and fun about him. R.I.P.
Now hopefully he is running with cadences, doing PT and counting pushups in a far better place

That's mostly because he wasn't an actor as much as he was a Drill Sargent, and so he was hired a lot to play the "Drill Sargent Type."
RIP Gunny. You were an inspiration!

Sad news - he was genuinely interesting and I liked him. RIP Gunny!

Mississippi Burning
tonight in his honour.

Yes, Full Metal Jacket. Yes Mail Call.
But a lot of love for his funny and self deprivation turn in Saving Silverman.

He was a fine example of a Drill Sargent , a Marine, and a spokesman for SOG.
RIP, glad your talents were discovered beyond the CORPS for all to respect.
