Lee Ermey had a distinguished 11 year career in the Marines before he started dabbling in movies, where his skills as a drill instructor gave him a specialty in that arena. He had a few credits to his name as actor and as technical adviser when Stanley Kubrick saw his work in "The Boys of Company C" and changed his career by making him the ruthless Gunnery Sergeant Hartman in 1987's "Full Metal Jacket," which has kind of defined his career ever since.

Queenan was funny at one point. Now, not so much. His bizarre appearance on the July 31 episode of Real Time with Bill Maher  was head-scratchingly inane. He came off like a dusty old fart, made nonesensical non sequiturs, injected off-topic points into actual interesting and enlightening discussions and displayed the body language of a crackhead after nineteen hours without a glass pipe in his mouth.
