Live Poll: In Memory of R. Lee Ermey
Character actor R. Lee Ermey has passed away at age 74. Ermey, who was a Marine who served in Vietnam before being medically discharged, got into acting in a round-about way, starting as a technical advisor on The Boys in Company C, Apocalypse now and An Officer and a Gentleman. He was employed as such for the film Full Metal Jacket (1987) when director Stanley Kubrick saw a tape of him verbally abusing extras and subsequently cast him in the pivotal role of Gunnery Sergeant Hartman. Deferring to his expertise, Kubrick even allowed Ermey to write and improvise his own lines, something Kubrick rarely allowed.
A truly bombastic performer, Ermey will be best remembered for his breakthrough in Full Metal Jacket. But which of his other most well-known roles have you enjoyed most?

The only other role I've ever seen him in was Sarge in the Toy Story (1995) films, and I doubt that'd change due to the nostalgic tie I have to it. So I'll go with that one.
Another day, another sad celebrity death. RIP.

I've seen Full Metal Jacket in both, english and german language - and believe me:
With the german synchonization, he is the hell of a hard guy. I heard him in english
later, another time and i was a little dissapointed, because he sound three times
more harsh and bad in the german synchonization. Try it - put in german synchonization
with subs and get the hell of fears, when gunnery seargent Hartman shouts at the
recruits and when he shouts through the fourth wall.
R.I.P. Ronald Lee Ermey :((
