Fifty wrote: I am pretty sure I remember from an interview, or film commentary or something that R Lee Ermy was originally on set as advisor and was considered to "nice" having worked with Kubrick on Apocalypse Now. He only got the part after putting together his own demo tape, when Kubrick realised he was perfect. Probably my number 2 favourite. Gomer Pile might also be top 10. That is one poor, messed up sod.
From IMDB:
Was not intended to be in Full Metal Jacket (1987). He was hired as a technical advisor for the actor who was to play the drill instructor, but he did such a good job at it that Ermey himself was hired for the part.
IMDB is not the only source of anything anywhere about movies. I read that myself, in case it was where I read it. I acknowledge that I am without a source, but as I said, it is what I recall from somewhere. I have a feeling that the final straw of doing such a good job, as described on IMDB, was that he produced a video clip...
Did a bit of research... These two things don't actually quite agree with each other, but I am sure they both have an element of truth.

5. R. Lee Ermey had been a real-life Parris Island Marine drill sergeant during the war. He'd acted in other Vietnam films, including "The Boys in Company C" (where he played his first drill sergeant role) and "Apocalypse Now." Kubrick had hired him as a technical adviser, but Ermey wanted to play Hartman, the Parris Island drill sergeant who dominates the first half of the movie. So he made an audition reel in which he generated a sponataneous stream of foul-mouthed insults directed at a group of extras -- all while having oranges and tennis balls thrown at him -- that ran for 15 minutes. That got him the job.

Mandorallen turned back toward the insolently sneering baron. 'My Lord,' The great knight said distantly, 'I find thy face apelike and thy form misshapen. Thy beard, moreover, is an offence against decency, resembling more closely the scabrous fur which doth decorate the hinder portion of a mongrel dog than a proper adornment for a human face. Is it possibly that thy mother, seized by some wild lechery, did dally at some time past with a randy goat?' - Mimbrate Knight Protector Mandorallen.
