Lee Ermey has past.

Complications from pneumonia.
His catch frase “it’s time for mailcall” is my text message ring tone.

I don’t think he was Sgt. Hulka, but he was a great big toe for Pvt. Pile and Joker in FMJ.

 

[GBO18]

Saving Silverman was his best movie. IMO.

Absolutely. That scene where he jumps out of the moving van has me smiling just thinking about it.

Warren Oates.

Warren Oates was also in Two Lane Blacktop and The Wild Bunch. The first time I remember seeing him on some TV show back in the 60's. I need to look it up. Good actor.


Edit: His only regular role on tv was in Stoney Burke, (1962-63) which was a show about a rodeo cowboy starring Jack Lord from Hawaii 5-0. Oates was also in a bunch of tv westerns playing various different characters in different episodes. He was on Gunsmoke 10 times as 10 different characters, and the Rifleman 7 or 8.
