I D'ONO

Vincent D'Onofrio never looks quite the same. Is he the chubby Pvt. Pyle of Full Metal Jacket? The dead ringer for Orson Welles of Ed Wood? Bill Newman in JFK and again in Malcom X? A Stanislavic Poster Boy, D'Onofrio loses himself in his roles. He gained a world record 70 pounds for his role in Full Metal Jacket (1987). One of the founders of the River Run Film Festival along with his sister, Elizabeth D'Onofrio, and their father, Gene, he balances bona fide hunkiness with a serious manner. He's my favorite L&O character. Who's yours?
