I think I first saw him “Roots” the miniseries.
When he was in An Officer and a Gentleman, he should have slapped the man silly who eventually hung himself.
Dumbest scene ever and I openly laughed in the theater when it happened...
Plenty of other women in the world and she so great to him in the 1st place
He came from a Southern family of tradition. And I believe military tradition. He fell for the siren’s song of nooky. In that sense he hosed all that tradition and the weight that goes with it. And fell on his sword. Metaphorically.
