He really gave blue collar americans and veterans a staple place in american culture through the movie which is what we are not doing today thank you sir for contribution
One of the great performances of the 1980's- he was so forceful in "Full Metal Jacket" I was afraid to laugh at his funny ab-libs for fear he'd turn to the audience and start yelling at me.
Agreed, he was fantastic. I remember seeing it on opening night and it was sold out. His first scene got some of the biggest laughs I've ever heard in a movie theater. Such funny, vulgar dialogue perfectly delivered by Ermey.
One of a hell of a guy , he really nailed the role of sergeant Hartman . But specially in Texas chainsaw massacre he stole the show he terrifies me as sheriff Hoyt
Watch the Archive interview with Slim Pickens as well. He and Gunny were the genuine articles in a profession that at least today likely wouldn't know what to do with them.
It's hilarious because he could act as the mean sucker he said he was but you really could tell outside of that he was a really nice guy. RIP Gunny.
This is absolutely incredible. A real interview. No crass interviewer "comedian" interrupting every 2 seconds.
Quality dialogue.
Yes, classic calm 80's interview just before boomers were about taking over running society.
it was the eighties, when whites were still majority in unted states
@@Nick-xi8ex What does the racial majority have to do with interviews?
Jim Norton sucks
When things were still real.
Love Ermey… this is a great interview. I’ve never seen him so calm and level headed. A great man and true patriot. I miss him
Was such a brilliant actor and person. He was one of my all time favorite actors. RIP.
It's crazy to see how calm & professional he is. R.I.P.
What a gem of a find this interview is.
The one thing greater than a Bobbie Wygant interview is the person who thought to create her archive.
Academy awards were reserved for the club members, not the masterpiece performance of this gentleman. RIP Gunnery Sergeant Hartman.
No its because a similar role had already won an Oscar 5 years earlier.... a pity bexause both Ermey and Gossett Jr were briliant.
@@sdkelmaruecan2907 There's no comparison, performance-wise

A very thoughtful and intelligent man. And a brilliant performance in Full Metal Jacket.
Great interview. Rest in peace gunny!
"If God wanted you up there, He would have miracled your ass up there by Now!" I still hear lines from FMJ. Thank you, it was great!
He made that movie ,he was that movie ,.Brilliant
Crazy to think of how many Vietnam era movies that RLE helped shape based on his own experiences and advice to the films
For a cinematic intimidating personality he is very much a calm and sensitive soul.
Ooooooohhh, he's just idling, but I definitely wouldn't set him off! He's like the psycho version of Andy Taylor! 😂 😲 😣
I graduated from the island in 01 his voice still sends chills down my spine
Once a marine always a marine rest in peace brother semper fi
It's criminal that this man didn't even get a nomination for his role in FMJ.
Such an underrated performance and an incredible actor he was.
Very humble and softly spoken and possibly the most brilliant actor of all time.....as he says, being a DI is acting a role
The man is the Gold Standard
Loved him Se7en too.
Make sure you check out Lee as a drill instructor in The Boys in Company C (1978).
What a fantastic interview !
Wow
Great life story. FMJ was a great film in large part to his chilling performance. He also had a nice small part in "Leaving Las Vegas."
Agreed, he was fantastic. I remember seeing it on opening night and it was sold out. His first scene got some of the biggest laughs I've ever heard in a movie theater. Such funny, vulgar dialogue perfectly delivered by Ermey.
I loved his part in seven. Great movie
Gunny should have won 15 Oscars for that performance!
What a legend 👍👍👍
Его киношный образ останется в истории.
Wow.. he’s so young. 😊😊😊😊❤❤
His hands are huge. Private Jokers head is still ringing. Pile couldn't handle ringing anymore....
When interviews could take longer than 2 minutes
And they weren’t interrupted every second.
What a brilliant interviewee he is , quite surprising
i'm not suprised.
yep, should've been nominated. if not won.
Unforgettable work- I'm sure Sgt. Hartman would have plenty to say to the Academy about his being overlooked.
invaluable asset
Great interview 👍
Oohrah! Rest In Peace Gunny, you are missed.
He really was a fantastic actor.
Awesome man
one of the greatest performances EVER
Great video thank you.
Glad you liked it!
@@bobbiewygantarchive 👍🙂
R Lee. 👍
I didn't know R Lee Ermey died terrible very funny actor this guy
What?
@@TheBundleofkent He passed away in 2018
In 2030 this interview will be as old as Lee Ermy was when it was filmed: 43 years. 😬
20 years ago was 10 years ago + 10 (mind-blowing)
In 2024 this interview will be /is 37 years old which is 6 years less than Lee's age during this interview.
One of a hell of a guy , he really nailed the role of sergeant Hartman . But specially in Texas chainsaw massacre he stole the show he terrifies me as sheriff Hoyt

Right man for role 👏 stole the show 😊
The fkin war will be over by the time we get there wont it Pyle!
Bill McKinney was originally supposed to play the role of the drill sergeant.
Isn't it such a contrast how soft spoken he is compared to the Drill Sgt?
👍
Honestly it sounds like he should have gotten credit as a co-screenwriter.
Video starts ar 0:42
If only Stg. Hartman had been this gentle with Pvt. Pyle, things would've been different.
Looks like Nick Saban
I just realized, R Lee Ermey kinda looks like Tony Hancock!
And Moe Howard of the 3 Stooges.
No he doesn't
Samajoor
Most marines are only mean when they have to be we would rather have a beer in one hand and fishing pole in other
I really liked him in the Texas chainsaw massacre
