Loved him in the opening of The Great Santini when he's celebrating in a private room of a fancy restaurant with his flyboy buddies. Some of the brass are enjoying dinner with their wives in the main restaurant and come to complain about the noise...so he sticks an open can of soup in his jacket and waltzes out on the dance floor pretending to be drunk...then pretends to vomit all over the floor (by dumpign the soup) in front of the brass and their wives. A great part for him.
did you forget all about the part were his boys jump down and chow down on the (soup)
