Yes, you know it's Douglas Rain voices there. He really got the perfect voice for the role. By the way, in Sleepers, the Woody Allen movies, he make the evil computer voice as well.

My Top 10
1- Peter Sellers in Dr Strangelove (one of the greatest comic genious)
2- Malcolm McDowell in Clockwork Orange
3- Jack Nicholson in The Shining
4- Tom Cruise in Eyes Wide Shut
5- Hal-9000(Douglas Rain) in 2001 a Space Odyssey
6- Nicole Kidman in Eyes Wide Shut
7- Kirk Douglas in Paths of Glory
8- Peter Sellers in Lolita
9- George C Scott in Dr Strangelove
10- Vincent D'Onofrio Full Metal Jacket

10- Is the fat guy in Full Metal Jacket R. Lee Ermey. If yes, that's my choice.

Indeed, Sellers is a comic genius, his three roles in Strangelove make it a surefire number 1, and he thought of himself as not a funny person....

R. Lee Ermey is not the fat guy, I think that was Vincent D'Onofrio. Ermey is the drill sargeant in the first half of FMJ.
