Alexander Basil Matthews (November 21, 1942 – September 22, 2018) was an American actor and singer best known for his appearance as Gunnery Sergeant Apone in the James Cameron film Aliens (1986).
He worked with James Cameron to make sure that the actors who played Marines acted like a real Marine Corps.
Matthews was a member of the United States Marine Corps who graduated at Parris Island on 25 May 1966, and served during the Vietnam War. On his website, he stated:
"I spent six years in the United States Marine Corps; I hold thirteen combat awards and decorations, including two purple hearts. I was the first black Marine in the 1st Marine Division in Vietnam to be meritoriously promoted to the rank of sergeant; I served with Kilo Battery, Fourth Battalion, 11th Marines, 1st Marine Division, of that I am very proud."
I miss you most on this day and June 16th, John George Southall. When I arrived there you took me under your wing and showed me the ropes. I’ll never forget what you did for me. When I get up There, we’ll fire up our old Harley Panheads and go for a nice long ride in the Kansas Flinthills, the Kawhills. Say a prayer for me sometime Johnny. Semper Fi Marine, Tommy.
Oorah!
Happy Birthday, Bro!
