Following the 1986 film Platoon (1986), Charlie Sheen -- who starred in the films -- did a TV interview and credits Keith David with saving his life. While shooting dailies in an open-doored Huey gunship, the helicopter banked too hard, and Sheen was thrown towards -- and would have gone through -- the open door. David grabbed Sheen by the back and pulled him back in.
