R. Lee Ermey, 64 has passed away from complications from pneumonia. He will forever be drilled into my mind from his role as the drill instructor in Full Metal Jacket. In fact, I've watched the first 30 minutes of that movie more times than I can count, and maybe watched the rest of it about 3 times.
He was famous in that movie as he was originally a drill instructor in the Marines and when he was asked to be an advisor on the movie and review their script he was reported to of actually gone to the writers and the director and told them straight to their face that their drill instructor script was absolute garbage then proceeded to give them a face to face example of what it should be. They hired him on the spot and most of his dialogue from the movie was not scripted and he actually did it on the fly. He had numerous other roles, but this one is without a doubt my favorite.
He also did the voice for Sergeant in Toy Story
You will be missed Gunny!
