R. Lee Ermey

R. Lee Ermey played the drill instructor Sgt. Hartman in Full Metal Jacket. FameTracker has written a profile of Ermey but neglects to mention that he really was a Marine Corps Drill Instructor for two years. So Sgt. Hartman wasn't much of a stretch for him. But that sells him short. Ermey's voice commands attention both in serious roles as well as comic stuff such as the Toy Story films. A Google search turns up Ermey's website. The intro page is funny in its extreme over-the-top attitude. (FameTracker Link Via Damien)
