rebuy Posted April 16, 2018 Share Posted April 16, 2018 Loved Gunny. Died from pneumonia. My doctor always advises I get a flu shot. I am older and have had heart problems. He's a good doctor even when I voice my concerns about vaccines. He's so good, he has a mortality rate of 100% in his work. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WillyBob Posted April 16, 2018 Share Posted April 16, 2018 He isn't the first to receive such an"honor". The whole cast" of "To Tell the Truth" were blacklisted actors.... Their politics were alleged to be on the other end of the spectrum, though. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Seadog Posted April 17, 2018 Share Posted April 17, 2018 He was great in FMJ. When my boys were younger, they really loved watching Mail Call (I liked the show too). They especially liked it when he would call his viewers "maggots". RIP 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

May he RIP He was hired as a consultant for Full Metal Jacket to advise an actor how to act like a Marine drill instructor, and after watching Ermey the director decided to give him the part. The opening scene of Full Metal Jacket is top drawer classic cinema. I would link the YouTube video but it is so NSFW and non politically correct it would surely offend someone. He wasn't acting, he was just playing himself. RIP 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He wasn't acting, he was just playing himself. RIP I just heard about this today and am pretty bummed. You literally have to watch his FMJ clips 5 or so times to absorb all the crazy things he says the way he throws them one after another off the top of his head. I am probably going to have a smirk on my face the rest of the day just thinking about them. "Your from Texas..." Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Their politics were alleged to be on the other end of the spectrum, though. If you aren't blacklisted, you just aren't trying hard enough. But why point out what is nothing more than a nationwide corporate censorship model. When it comes to employment, there are no first amendment rights.

Guest wdecho Posted April 21, 2018 Share Posted April 21, 2018 Not nonsense. After he criticized Obama and it was found out he was a conservative his acting career was over. He could not get another job in Hollywood. National news but that can depend on what news org you are watching if you will even hear about such.
