[dropcap]Ό[/dropcap]πως είναι λογικό (και αναπόφευκτο δυστυχώς) συνεχίζονται τα δυσάρεστα γεγονότα τελευταία και νέα απώλεια αυτή τη φορά δυστυχώς είναι ο σπουδαίος ηθοποιός R. Lee Ermey.
Ήταν στην πραγματικότητα ένας πρώην πεζοναύτης, ο οποίος έγινε γνωστός και έκανε καριέρα στο Χόλιγουντ παίζοντας τον Λοχίας Χάρτμαν στο «Full Metal Jacket» του Stanley Kubrick και πέθανε χτες σε ηλικία 74 ετών.
Όπως ανακοίνωσε ο μάνατζέρ του, Bill Rogin έφυγε από τη ζωή λόγω κάποιων επιπλοκών που σχετίζονταν με την πνευμονία που τον ταλαιπωρούσε στις οποίες τελικά υπέκυψε μετά από χρόνια.
Μαζί με το «Full Metal Jacket» είχε εμφανιστεί σε πάνω από 60 ταινίες, μεταξύ των οποίων το «Seven» και το «Αποκάλυψη Τώρα». Οι συμπρωταγωνιστές του στην ταινία Matthew Modine και Vincent D’Onofrio εξέφρασαν τη θλίψη τους για τον χαμό του ηθοποιού με tweet το απόγευμα της Κυριακής.
