DEERFIELD BEACH, Fla., May 9, 2018 /PRNewswire/ -- BrandStar, producers of home improvement series Military Makeover, which airs on Lifetime TV, is seeking to cast a replacement for longtime host R. Lee Ermey, the Golden Globe-nominated actor who passed away last month.

Ermey, known as The Gunny, proudly served as the host for Military Makeover for more than four years, helping rebuild the lives of his fellow veterans and facilitate the renovations of their homes, along with the series' partners.

Military Makeover: Transforming the Homes and Lives of Military Veterans

"We were blessed to have had the opportunity to work with R. Lee Ermey these past four years," said Mark Alfieri, Founder and CEO of BrandStar. "The Gunny helped us transform the lives of 13 families and our goal is to identify an individual to help us carry on his legacy as he would have wanted us to do."

Military Makeover offers hope and a helping hand to members of our military and their loved ones. The show enlists contractors, designers, educators and financial professionals to transform the homes and lives of military families across the country.

Past episodes have included entire home donations—military widow Tinky Stuart donated her Eustis, Florida, home for free to a military family—outfitting handicapped-accessible bathrooms for disabled veterans, and contributing scholarship funds to veterans and Gold star family members pursuing their dreams of a college education.

Military Makeover is searching for the perfect replacement for Mr. Ermey—someone who will carry out his legacy by contributing to improving the lives of true American heroes.
