Ronald Lee Ermey Wiki Biography

Ronald Lee Ermey was born on the 24th March 1944, in Emporia, Kansas USA. He is an actor, who is probably still best recognized for starring in the role of Gunnery Sergeant Hartman in “Full Metal Jacket” (1987), playing Mayor Tilman in “Mississippi Burning” (1988), and as Sheriff Hoyt in “The Texas Chainsaw Massacre” remake. He is also a retired US Marine Corps Staff Sergeant, whose acting career subsequently began in 1978.

It has been estimated by sources that Ermey’s net worth is over $12 million, as of mid-2016. The main source of this sum of money is his successful involvement in the entertainment industry as an actor. Additionally to that, he has also appeared in a number of commercials and TV shows, which also increased his net worth. Another source of his wealth is coming from his ownership of the Bravery Brewery in Lancaster, California.

Initially, Ermey spent childhood on a farm nearby Kansas City with five brothers. At the age of 14, he moved with his family to Toppenish, Washington. In his teens, Ermey was a troublemaker, who has often problems with the law, as he was arrested twice. After his second arrest, the judge offered him the choice between going to prison or becoming a member of the military, so he chose the second option and in 1961 he joined the US Marine Corps. While serving, he worked as a drill instructor and also saw combat in Vietnam where he was wounded, and was eventually medically discharged – he was honorarily promoted to gunnery sergeant (E-7) in 2002.

Ronald’s acting career began in the late 1970s, appearing in a film named “The Boys In Company C” (1978). The following year he appeared in the film “Apocalypse Now”. He then focused more on his education, but returned to acting during the 1980s, earning roles in the film “Purple Hearts” (1984), and three years later he secured his breakout role as Gunnery Sgt. Hartman in the Stanley Kubrick’s film “Full Metal Jacket”. Since then, his career has gone only upwards, and so has his net worth as well as popularity. So far he has appeared in more than 120 films, TV, and video games titles, which increased his net worth by a large margin.

Furthermore, during his career he developed a typecast role of a sergeant, and some of his most famous roles include those in films such as “Mississippi Burning” (1988), “Toy Soldiers” (1991), “Body Snatchers” (1993), “Love Is A Gun” (1994), “Dead Man Walking” (1995), “Dead Men Can’t Dance” (1997), “Jericho” (2000), “Vilard” (2003), “The Texas Chainsaw Massacre” (2003), and its sequel “The Texas Chainsaw Massacre: The Beginning” (2006), among others. All of these appearances added to the overall size of his net worth.

Ermey’s net worth also benefited from his voice-over talents, as he provided the voice to characters from several animated TV and film titles, but also video games, including “Toy Story” (1995), “Big Guy And Rusty The Boy Robot” (1999), “Roughnecks: The Starship Troopers Chronicles” (1999-2000), “Fallout Tactics: Brotherhood Of Steel” (2001), “Batman: The Brave And The Bold” (2009-2011), “Kung Fu Panda: Legends Of Awesomeness” (2012-2015), and “Call Of Duty: Ghosts” (2013), among others, all of which contributed a lot to his net worth.

Thanks to his career, Ermey has received numerous prestigious nominations and awards, including the Golden Globe award nomination in category Best Performance by an Actor in a Supporting Role in a Motion Picture for his work on the film “Full Metal Jacket”, and he won the BSFC Award in category Best Supporting Actor for the same film, among others.
