Ermey belonged to the US Navy even in the 1960s. Director Francis Ford Coppola hired him as a consultant for his war movie 'Apocalypse Now' (1979) and gave him a role as a helicopter pilot. The military instructor then starred in dozens of productions, including the films 'Mississippi Burning', 'Switchback - Merciless Flight' and 'Michael Bay's Texas Chainsaw Massacre.' In the Pixar animation 'Toy Story' he gave his voice to the leader of the toy soldiers. TheLastColdBeer and TBB 1 1
