Kubrick told Rolling Stone that 50 percent of Ermey's dialogue in the film was his own.' In the course of hiring the marine recruits, we interviewed hundreds of guys.
We lined them all up and did an improvisation of the first meeting with the drill instructor. They didn't know what he was going to say, and we could see how they reacted.
Lee came up with, I don't know, 150 pages of insults,' Kubrick said.D'Onofrio and 'Full Metal Jacket' co-star Matthew Modine tweeted their condolences late Sunday, with Modine quoting the poet Dylan Thomas. 'Full Metal Jacket' earned Ermey a Golden Globe nomination, as well as a career playing authority figures - from Mayor Tilman in 1988's 'Mississippi Burning' to little green army man Sarge in the more family-friendly 'Toy Story.' In all, Ermey racked up more than 60 credits in television and film, including apperances in 'Se7en,' 'Prefontaine,' and 'Toy Soldiers.'

Because I was totally blackballed by the. Liberals in Hollywood,' he alleged. 'They can destroy you. They're hateful people who don't just not like you, they want to take away your livelihood.
That's why I live up in the desert on a dirt road. I don't have to put up with their crap.'
'He will be greatly missed by all of us,' Rogin told The Associated Press Sunday. 'It is a terrible loss that nobody was prepared for.'
