Well, R. Lee Ermey may not be in the top 1%, but at least he’s not in the bottom 50% like some of those struggling actors. And hey, being ranked 2086 out of nearly 9,000 actors is still better than being stuck in the extras department. Plus, with his A-List status, he’s probably too busy yelling at recruits to even care about his ROI.
