You'll always be best known for your steely performance in Kubrick's "Full Metal Jacket", but you also made the rounds in more than a few exceptional imagi-films and television shows, such as "The Adventures of Brisco County, Jr"; "Batman: the Bold and the Brave"; "Big Guy and Rusty the Boy Robot"; "Body Snatchers"; "Buzz Lightyear of Star Command"; "The Frighteners"; "Kim Possible"; "Seven"; "Space: Above and Beyond"; "The Terror Within II"; "Toy Story 1-3"; and "The X-Files".
Horror fans especially savor your stand-out, chilling performance as "Sheriff" Hoyt in the 2003 "Texas Chainsaw Massacre" remake and its gritty prequel, "...The Beginning", not to mention your portrayal of the insensitive Mr. Martin in the effective, 2002 "Willard" retelling.
Thanks a million for your service, sir, not only in the movies, but to our great nation. God bless and Godspeed...
