I met him when he filmed an episode of Mail Call while I was stationed on Fort Knox. All of my superiors were around him acting like he was an A-list celebrity. I walked up to him and said "Hey, Emery Lee, big fan of that movie you were in, Jacket Full Of Metal!"

 

I got in some trouble for that....

He was also in the 2003 remake of the Texas Chainsaw Massacre. He did a great job as the creepy sheriff. I also loved his Geico commercial:

Need a military guy in your movie? 

 

You only needed two phone numbers for like the last 30 years of television and movie making:  Ermey or Dale Dye.

Yeah, saying dumb, non-witty things, while being in the military, will land one in hot water.

He was also in a lot of Discovery Channel type military documentaries in recent years, focusing on various types of military hardware and what not.

 

I always liked him and thought he was fantastic in FMJ.  Ironically, I think he wasn't acting in that movie; he was just doing his own thing from the Corps!  I'm sure some of those lines were not written in any script; they were too good.

 

 

Oscar worthy, IMO... There's absolutely no movie without that performance...

Oscars are awarded for acting.

 

He wasn't.

Of course he was... The only difference was he performed it 20 years earlier in the real Marine corps...  But, by all means give Halle Berry an Oscar for faking an Orgasm with Billy Bob Thornton.

Dale Dye has become the modern day Richard Jaeckel...

Yes!  Good call.

 

When I was typing my post yesterday, I was thinking of who is the heir apparent to the Ermey/Dye wing of actors.  Only guys that came to mind was Lance Reddick and Colin Salmon.

 

Fortunately those guys are already in control of the "we need a 6'+ tall *black* military guy" demand.
