R. Lee Ermey, the tough-talking Marine Corps sergeant turned actor, best known for his role as a foul-mouthed Vietnam-era drill instructor in “Full Metal Jacket”, died Sunday from complications of pneumonia. He was 74.
“He will be greatly missed by all of us”, his longtime manager, Bill Rogin, said in a statement. “Semper Fi, Gunny. Godspeed.” We had the opportunity to Interview R. Lee and spend some quality time with this warm (yes I said warm, you couldn't find a more wonderful person to talk to and we had a great few hours with him) kind and funny man. |
