人物生平
艾爾米1944年出生於堪薩斯州的恩波利亞,17歲時曾兩次因犯罪而被捕,面臨兩個選擇:入獄或者參軍,他選擇了後者,加入了海軍陸戰隊。20世紀60年代中期,艾爾米在聖地亞哥當了一名教官,之後在越南服役14個月,去到沖繩當了一名上士,但由於服役期間受傷,他於1972年退伍,後被晉升為海軍陸戰隊中士。
艾爾米在菲律賓上大學時對表演產生了興趣,在《現代啟示錄》中扮演了一名直升機飛行員,同時擔任導演弗朗西斯·福特·科波拉的技術顧問。艾爾米參演《全金屬外殼》時表現優異,導演庫布里克對其印象深刻,允許他自己創造台詞。
R·李·艾爾米曾參演《德州電鋸殺人狂》、《七宗罪》、《X戰警3》等60部影片,也曾為《海綿寶寶》、《玩具總動員》、《辛普森一家》等動畫配音。
除了在演藝圈頗有建樹,艾爾米也有豐富的軍事背景,當過海軍陸戰隊士兵、上士、教官等,還主持過歷史頻道的節目《Mail Call》、《Lock N’ Load with R。 Lee Ermey》和戶外頻道節目《Gunny Time》。
