despite all of the points about Vincent being a wonderful actor, his parts in other films, really getting into his roles, etc. I must say that his character is so annoying I can't watch criminal intent. I like the program but once he comes on screen it instantly becomes less enjoyable to watch. It's a shame really, but I'll blame the writers and not Vincent for now (until I evaluate his other work)

Vincent is the consumate actor! (Sun Jan 7, 2007 4:52am ET)report post

I have been enthralled by the remarkable talent and charisma of Vincent D'Onofrio and it doesn't hurt that he is also incredibly sexy as well.

He is equally adept at character roles as he is at leading man roles, and it truly infuriates me that he doesn't get the artistic recognition he deserves.

I only hope that he continues acting for thrity or forty more years as I've become addicted to him and eagerly await each new movie and characterization.

Vincent D'Onofrio is like a rare fine wine that only improves and matures with age. I pity his detractions who are unable to see beyong there nit-picking because they are truly missing out all that Vincent D'Onofrio is to those of us with the sensitivity to see it.

Vincent is the greatest actor! (Fri Aug 8, 2008 1:21am ET)report post
by tammi
vincent d'onofrio is the best actor hollywood or anyone else has ever seen. i love al pacino, harvey keitel, samuel jackson...etc, but vincent d'onofrio is incredible! a puppet in Full Metal Jacket, dehumanized and loathed, a terribly disgusting insect in Men In Black, a sexy, wanton, "I'll Give You Anything Nasty You Can Think Of" disturbing demon in "The Cell." A "Tell-Me-What-You-Know-and-I'll-Make-You-The-Most-Orgasmic-Woman-In-The-World!" detective in CI. Vincent D'Onofrio is the sexiest, most versatile actor since...is there a comparison? No.

by What show?
He is a young procurer of exotic autos for people, and a young film student follows him around filming him everywhere from the bathroom in his apartment to his work, and even on a date with another young lady.

I saw it once on DirecTV, but forget the name of the movie...

I looked in a few biography sites listing what he has been in as a star or supporting role... none of them list this show...

Can anyone tell me what ti was called?

Thak you,

The name of the film is "Guy". I was able to record it on my DVR. It's interesting, odd, and D'Onofrio is wonderful in it.

Loves Vincent (Tue Oct 10, 2006 5:09pm ET)report post
by LuvsRacquet
I absolutely love Vincent; I can watch CI over and over again practically reciting the script. He is just such an awesome actor and not too bad on the eyes either. Something very sexy about him. I just hope he's taking care of himself physically; no more fainting episodes please.

I think Mr. D'Onofrio is an outstanding actor, who has the ability to make people believe whatever it is that he's doing. Regarding "horrible actor", Vincent's character "Robert Goren" is a highly intellectual person, who isn't always the best at communicating what he's thinking. So the long pauses, and different mannerisims is just a physical clue as to who Robert Goren really is. Remember, it's acting - not Mr. D'Onofrio's true self. I love the fact that he chooses roles that are challenging. That is the mark of a truly great actor - not the roles that will earn them recognition, but roles that are deep, and out-of-the ordinary. Great job, Mr. D'Onofrio - I look forward to seeing many more of your projects in the future. Even though you don't necessarily seek them out - I, too, also hope you get the recognition that you have definately earned. Keep up the superb work!!

I think that Mr D'onofrio is one of the hardest working actors in the business. I only wish he would get more recognition for all of his prolific work. I shall be keeping him close to my heart forever.

What's on the Inside? (Fri Jun 16, 2006 12:54am ET)report post
by Roc
I'd very much like to know what Vincent's heart is like. What HIS dreams and hopes are. I know he IS concerned about the plight of the poor. That intrigues me...interests me. What kind of PERSON are you Vincent? Does anyone really know. Two divorces; two kids; a career as a pretender. Where ARE we going? Yes, it's true, Vincent is very talented. But actors are so fortunate. They have an audience for their work. I know a good plumber...good musicians and conductors...good attorneys...and loads of other really talents AND caring people. Does anyone know whether or not he is kind-hearted, loving, considerate, patient, gracious... I'd like to write him and KNOW he's, at least, GOTTEN my communication. If anyone has his E-mail address or any other address where they've actually gotten a response, or at least, know for a fact that Vincent's received they're letter or note, let me know, would you? It would be much appreciated. Meanwhile, I missed "Thumbsucker" when it was showing here in Los Angeles. Has anyone seen it. How did Vincent do? I hope he gets a REAL break and does something like "A Streetcar Named Desire" or something comparable. But...then again...is that what he's really looking for? What does he consider his ideal role? Oh well, enough from me... See ya, my dears.

He wants to be left alone. I have heard him say in many interviews that he chose to be a character actor and not a star so he could focus on his work and have a life.

He is still married to his second wife. He talks about his children in every interview I have ever seen or read and he gave a shout out once to his mother on "The View". He doesn't like to be in movies where the bad guys get away with being bad anymore because he has a family and it doesn't seem nice. He recounted that his daughter had read a script for a role he was offered and said the character wasn't a good person, so he passed the role up. He said being a father changes you.

He appears to be liberal, but not radically so in his politics.

He doesn't like the spot light and if you notice he rarely appears on talk shows, you never see him in magazines. He likes his privacy. It is enough for me that he is a great actor. What he does in his personal life is personal.

I am with you. I am looking for hi address or email or something in which I know that it is him. I would love to contact him myself, but this isnt for me. I am searching for someone I found on MYLot.com. This person is as big a fan of him as I am, but there is one thing that this person has that I dont -cancer. This person talks about how they wrote to wolf films and got a CI hat but they want to tell him and let him know that he really helps them get through the pain and what not while watching his preformances. It hurt my heart to read this and started searhing immediately. I thought I had found something a little while before, but I think its the same place they wrote to already. Im not sure. But seriously, if anyone knows anything Im sure this person would really appreciate it. It would be really nice if they could tell him.

I think that he is a great actor.He is able to put himself totally into character, no matter what kind of character he is playing.The first thing I ever saw him in was Full Metal Jacket,he really blew my mind. I didn't start getting a crush on him until I got into Law and Order CI.This character has a reoccuring role in my wet dreams.

Vincent is as talented as they get! (Fri May 19, 2006 4:05pm ET)report post
by Hara Paper
I applaud Vincent for his recent showdown with the NBC lawyer on what defines "sexual harassment". He is a character actor. In some of his roles he has played "the bad guy", like in "The Cell". That character definately had a lot of mental issues, including sexual problems.

When Vincent does a role, he does an in depth study of whom he will portray. That's what makes him so good. In order to be the character, he has to investigate things that are completely foreign and at times uncomfortable to him.
In the case of "The Cell", he studied serial killers and most likely sexual abuse cases, because that was the character he was playing. Without the knowledge, how can you step into a role blindly and be convincing.

Vincent is my favorite actor. "Full Metal Jacket" had me hooked. I have watched that movie so many times and still find it more and more interesting each time. I love this talented man and can't wait to see more of his work. : )
