FappyTheClown Posted April 17, 2018 Posted April 17, 2018 (edited) 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.... Edited April 17, 2018 by FappyTheClown
Azalin Posted April 17, 2018 Posted April 17, 2018 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:
dpberr Posted April 17, 2018 Posted April 17, 2018 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.

CowgirlsFan Posted April 17, 2018 Posted April 17, 2018 Condolences to his family his friends and his fans.

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...

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.

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.
