Vincent D'Onofrio: Portrait of a Cracked Actor


I AM In a World of Shit

I am a big Vincent D'Onofrio fan. Even his name is cool. He was great in Full Metal Jacket, Mystic Pizza, and Adventures in Babysitting, and he was perfect as Orson Welles in Ed Wood. And I'm apparently the only person on Earth who thinks Law & Order: Criminal Intent is awesome. The way he always cocks his head to one side and almost puts his ear on the table during interrogations... so friggin' weird. Plus there's that strange bump in the middle of his head. He's always quite the odd bird.

Aaaanyhooo... It comes as little surprise that ol' Vinnie is completely off his tit. Some months ago, we were having a nice birthday dinner for tobyspinks at the Maritime Hotel, and Vinny D. was there, hunched over and chain smoking and acting mysterious. He seemd a little off even then. Well, rumor has it that he's started to go all the way around the bend. Apparently he just can't deal with the Gee Dubya victory. At least he's melting down for a good reason. Not sure why this was worth a post, but cuckoo character actors are way more interesting than big stars.
