PATERNAL OUTLOOK
From National Ledger, 11.30.07
By Marilyn Beck and Stacy Jenel Smith
"Law & Order: Criminal Intent" star Vincent D'Onofrio says his upcoming indie film, "The Narrows," struck a personal chord with him. D'Onofrio, a father to two in real life, plays Kevin Zegers's father in the coming-of-age story about a young man caught between two worlds. "I think what happens with me when I'm playing a father is it takes on a life of its own," says D'Onofrio. "It's just something that you just feel like you can play, and while the camera's rolling, I feel so emotional and so open. This fatherhood thing really is something." He adds, "Kevin's a great kid, and we got along really well. We're a father-and-son team in the movie, and it was touching for me. It's a very emotional situation between a father and son, and being a father now, it comes naturally. … I think it opens all your emotions when you're acting as a father."
Thanks Linda

I adore his Love of his own Fatherhood. I think it is more rewarding to him than his career!
Bless him! LOVE him! : )
Bless his sweet heart.
All together now... *AWWWWWWWW* He is the most darling man, isn't he?? I just absolutely adore him!!
Makes me want to see this movie even more!
'Awwwwwwww'
It's going to be a pleasure to see him on the big screen again. Can't wait, but as with everything, we're going to have to.
Isn't it something how men become even more attractive when they love their kids?? Nothing better than a man who loves his wife and kids. :) God bless ya.
Nice to hear Vincent's own words-I liked him as a Dad in "Thumbsucker" also even though his character had issues with being Dad meant being old-
Regi.
Its just lovely to hear him saying all this and lovely for his family to hear it being said.They must be very fond of him.Those fathers who value their role need to speak up more. He leads by his example.
