Tom Skerritt played the role...He was a Vietnam Vet who occasionally "flipped out" and thought he was back in Vietnam.
(I loved it when he was walking quietly down the stairs, thinking Cheech & Chong were burglars, and at the bottom of the stairs he stepped on a glass which went "Crunch&quot

In "Next Movie"..Cheech's cousin was named Red & was, of course, played by Cheech himself.
It was Red who liked to say "Holy Sheepshit"
