The actor Kubrick first hired to play Gunnery Sergeant Hartman was Tim Colceri. Over the course of production, R. Lee Ermey, who was originally hired on as the technical advisor, found a way to ‘audition’ for the role despite it already being cast. Colceri would end up playing the door gunner who shoots at random civilians from the helicopter in the film, but the story of Colceri losing the role would certainly classify him as one of the most tortured Kubrick actors.

"R. Lee Ermey, an actor in Kubrick's film Full Metal Jacket, stated that Kubrick phoned him two weeks before his death to express his despondency over Eyes Wide Shut. "He told me it was a piece of shit", Ermey said in Radar magazine, "and that he was disgusted with it and that the critics were going to 'have him for lunch"
