        He didn’t “play” a gunnery sergeant! That wasn’t acting, that was his life

        He was the technical advisor on the movie, there to train the actor in how to do the role. Kubrick decided to use him instead. He was a Marine gunnery sergeant. That sh!t don’t wear off

        This is true. I heard he was shouting some of his trademark insults and Kubrick picked up on it, and cast him afterwards. Btw he also had a great TV-series where he'd explore all kinds of weaponry and ordnance. Genuinely funny guy
