People forget he was actually a marine and actually a drill instructor for 2 years.

Yep, hence why he played the character so damn perfectly.

No one forgets this..... Some people don't know this, but I don't see how anyone could actually forget that piece of trivia.


This is probably his best movie, but I loved him in Frightners sooooo much.

I remember going through basic training and thinking how spot on he was in playing his iconic role in FMJ. That was a long ass time ago and before I found out he really was a marine DI for a few years.


I remember reading how Kubrick loved working with him and that he only needed a small handful of takes for each scene.

RIP
