R. Lee Ermey, a former Marine Corps drill instructor known to millions of moviegoers as the sadistic Gunnery Sergeant Hartman in Stanley Kubrick’s “Full Metal Jacket,” died Sunday morning, according to his longtime manager. He was 74.
In a statement posted on Twitter, Bill Rogin said Ermey had died due to complications from pneumonia.
Wow , thats odd, i just watched Full Metal Jacket last night .
I had not seen it in many years and decided to watch it again
My condolences
My most memorable watching of Ermey was the crazy sheriff of the Texas Chainsaw Massacre remake, which is much better than the original (which doesn’t happen very often!) And didn’t he do some TV show?
