Does anyone know what happened to Reggie Johnson the actor who played Junior in the film? He seems to have vanished from TV and cinema screens after 1988.

Funny someone should mention Johnny Depp. I first saw this movie YEARS ago and only watched it again recently after buying it. The only scene I remembered in the movie is the one where Johnny Depp is carrying the child. That image haunted me for years. This movie exemplifies how ordinary men can lose their humanity when they are placed in situations no men should ever have to experience.
Platoon is by far the greatest movie in the world. It tells the story of a man going into Vietnam. It tells the truth, it brings forth the real horror of the war and what our boys really went through. It also shows that they not only fought the Vietnamese, but themselves. Willem Dafoe is the greatest actor ever and Tom Berenger is amazing in this movie. They really make this movie. It is my favorite movie, and I hope that everyone that reads this goes out and watches this movie, and I hope that it gets more recognition than it has.
Johnny Depp shouldn't even be mentioned on the starring cast, in the final cut he has maybe 3 lines.
