Vincent D'Onofrio Digs Into A Western
From MTV.com
Laughs It Up With Vince Vaughn
'Law & Order: Criminal Intent' star balances sidekick roles with passion projects.
An actor and a bit of an enigma, Vincent D'Onofrio has long navigated Hollywood's roads less traveled, carving out one of the more distinctive careers of the last few decades. An iconic early performance in the Stanley Kubrick classic "Full Metal
Jacket" should have done for him what "Tigerland" did for Colin Farrell or "Romper Stomper" did for Russell Crowe. Decades of scene-stealing roles from "Men in Black" to "The Salton Sea" should have at least made him a famed second-banana along the lines of William H. Macy or Don Cheadle. But even now, after several seasons on the hit TV show "Law & Order: Criminal Intent," the number of people who can connect the name and face of this self-described chameleon may be as infinitesimal as the audience that paid to see his forgotten gem "Happy Accidents."

I first got 'addicted' to Vincent when watching criminal intent. At the end of that episode I realised I still had a basket of ironing on my hip and an iron in my hand. I wondered who this man was who held my attention for so long! I was stunned to read that he was in Men in Black etc. So began my addiction... Still love watching you Vincent!Keep on keeping on. I (for one) can't get enough.
Dear Vincent,
In this western, you need to have plenty of stubble, a cool cowboy hat, get very dusty, need to take a bath at a waterhole in the middle of the desert (no towels), get seriously kissed,and even more seriously laid.
Thank you darling - we'll all be looking forward to seeing the movie, whatever shape it takes. XX
vicki,
i had the exact same experience. well, i wasn't ironing. probably just lounging about. But it was Criminal Intent that got my attention, then MIB, then TWWW, then...
Not too long ago hubby and I both saw "Thor" for the first time (and this role was an answer in a crossword I did recently) and for a moment I had to adjust my "Vincent" antennae to make sure I wasn't imagining things. Too fun with the mullet! Chameleon indeed.
Love the way your mind works Diane! Just one thing to add.....Vincent, sweetie, please don't die in this one!!
But... we don't actually know he'll be *acting* in this, do we? He may well just be directing.
Vincent, I can't wait to see you in a Western. You will be fulfilling my wildest fantasies in the wild wild west. I love a man with a pistol and a whip! I'm the little squaw you rescue
Diane: yes, picture him all stubbly and dusty. Vincent, can I wash your feet at that watering hole?
Tess: He mustn't die.... I just can't take it if he dies in another film.... said while watching Naked Tango on my little dvd player as I write, tissues to hand
lotsa luv ann xxxxx
I'd like to echo my good friends above; Vincent, your character need to be still BREATHING at the end credits. Thank you very much. XX

I would absolutely adore a VDO western! Especially if it brought him back to Texas for filming (hint, hint).
