Saving Pvt Ryan?
A Hollywood actor does not exist who could play a real life military drill seargent, such as, in the movie, Full Metal Jacket.
Despite all the award shows, not one actor ever could play that real life role. The director needed an actual drill seargent.
What does that say about actors? Overrated.
You see, you never see another actor playing the same role for comparison.
The only good one I remember was Darren McGavin in "Tribes."
“Despite all the award shows, not one actor ever could play that real life role. The director needed an actual drill seargent.”
Of course a good actor could play that role.
The guy who played the part of the DI WAS (and is) an actor-——who had been a DI.
