His role as GySgt Foley in "An officer and a Gentleman" is one of the best portrayals of a Marine Corps DI. Right up there with R. Lee Ermy and Jack Webb.

I still remember watching Enemy Mine with my grandpa and seeing silent tears fall from his eyes. That helped me understand racism at a very early age and helped me overcome it, we are all one, even if we are shattered.

You would think Hollywood would have been beating down his door, but that did not happen. Even with those awards, his talent was horrifically underutilized. I am glad they got him for the remake of The Color Purple, but I wish his role had been bigger.
