Kubrick probably looked at the lines that had been written, listened to the actual former Marine and threw the script away. Smart move on Kubrick’s part.

Funny thing was that Ermy was hired as an advisor. Tim Colceri was hired for the role but good thing that Kubrick fired him.

One of those divine acts that leads to a second or third career.😊
Dale Dye (Colonel Sink, Band of Brothers) was an advisor to a movie and ended up with a small part in the movie. He’s now appeared in every movie he’s worked on, a pretty long list.
