I just read it ?.

I know his most iconic was Full Metal Jacket .

Yet  from Sarge in Toy Story to the gravelly Police Captain in Se7en he made any movie more watchable and believable .

R Lee Ermey was the best. He was beyond fantastic in Full Metal Jacket. He took the Gunnery Sergeant character and turned it into a legendary cinematic character. 

This is one of my favorite scenes from the film Full Metal Jacket: 

Gunnery Sergeant Hartman: Did your parents have any children that lived?

Private Gomer Pyle: Sir, yes, sir.

Gunnery Sergeant Hartman: I bet they regret that. You're so ugly you could be a modern art masterpiece! What's your name fat body?

Private Gomer Pyle: Sir, Leonard Lawrence, sir.

Gunnery Sergeant Hartman: Lawrence? Lawrence what... of Arabia?

Private Gomer Pyle: Sir, no, sir.

Gunnery Sergeant Hartman: That name sounds like royalty. Are you royalty?

Private Gomer Pyle: Sir, no, sir.

(Kubrick, Stanley. "Ful Metal Jacket, Quotes."(1987). Imb.com, Inc.  1990-2018.) 

Makes me laugh every time I see Gunny's face staring up at Private Pyle. 

Marines don't die when they go to hell, they just regroup. RIP Gunny.

No one could have bettered that part ..............pure classic .........I'm going to have to revisit FMJ .............
