The odd thing is that he was a DI in "The Boys in Company C" (1978) nine
years before "Full Metal Jacket" (1987) and one year before his part in
"Apocalypse Now" (1979) as a helicopter pilot yet his own website makes no
mention of Company C at all anywhere, his film history according to him
starts with Apocalypse. Some legal issue maybe???
BTW, as someone stated on one message board, we've been waiting for Company
C to come out on DVD longer than the war was.
later,
