He's a proper chameleon. And I love how he still has this boyishly soft speaking voice, but can put on this stentorian bellow as Kingpin. Amazing actor.
Vincent D’Onofrio is one of those rare character actors that is just so skilled at their craft that it gives you chills. Like the perfect guitar solo or opera singer, you can’t help but have an emotional response.
Even worse, he is so good in his acting I for one at least have a hard time realising when he moves from method acting to just simple acting. The broken characters he play are also the best interpretation. From the first time I saw him in Full Metall Jacket, to Eco I was captivated. And even in Law and Orde he made a fine apearence as a "normal" dude. I think we should mention this, his role there is the most mentioning one, because it is the one, that is interpreting the most normal person Vincent playe4d so far as I know. 😁
You may argue best/not best acting, BUT I give you that, those two defined the 2 roles they have played a lot! At least me, anytime I thin of LL I see Rosenbaum and only him, and when I see WF I can only see D'onofrio. Kind of strange toi see those "Supervillans" having a chat. 🤣
I met him walking in his old neighborhood in manhattan which was very close to the NYPD police academy on 20th. I was in uniform and said “Hey Det. Big fan” or something else goofy and he stopped and couldn’t have been kinder. I told him I was a big fan of the radio show he was hosting at that period of time (also of course his acting) Within a few mins he offered to give me a copy of a Velvet Underground album that he have a couple of copies of. As a cop in manhattan for 25 years I met my share of famous and wildly talented people, no finer than Vincent D. Awesome interview enjoyed every second. He is amazing, top 5 actor of his generation in my opinion.
Vincent D'onofrio had a guest role in "Homicide: Life of the Street" that was unforgettable! He played a businessman who got caught between a subway car and the platform. The writing and his acting were amazing!!!
I met this man last month at FanX in Salt Lake City. Talked for a minute, shook hands and got a picture with him. When we were about to take the picture, asked him if we could do the Goren tilt. He smiled and said 'Sure, how do you want to do it?' I told him and so he tilted toward me, I leaned toward him. I'm not a person who gets star struck. I've met a few famous people and didn't flinch or make any attempt for a picture or autograph. When I got tickets to go to FanX with my daughter, I had no intention of paying for a picture or an autograph of anyone; however, when he last minute decided to show up at FanX, I HAD to. This man has been on my list of top five favorite actors for a LONG time. One of the all-time greats IMO.
Although I thought Vincnet did a great job with his role, I think the writing on Criminal Intent was not as the Original Law and Order. I think they saved the best ideas (nad thus scripts) for the Original.
I was fortunate enough to be a production assistant on Criminal Intent Season three and to work with Vince- he was quite a presence a consummate professional and he could be such a nice guy (but he didn’t tolerate ANY bullsh*t on set). I enjoyed that season and he was a big part of that
Vincent D'Onofrio should teach a master class. He's brilliant, and I've learned a ton about acting just from listening to him. And I'm not even an actor.
I like to show people a photo of him as Thor and then as the killer from The Cell (when he has the nipple piercing and horns). It’s the most metal thing I’ve seen.
His take on Goren was nothing short of amazing. He made law & order criminal intent not just my favorite law & order, but my favorite cop show Ever... And I'm a huge Bosch fan. He played the modern/ twisted/ internally conflicted/ version of Sherlock Holmes. Had no idea the brutal workload he was going through, it explains so much. This is an excellent interview, I heard Michael rosenbaum's approach was very unique, Consider me Hooked 🤗
You are 100% correct. His role was so brilliant that nobody could replace him even though they tried during his absence. Chris North and Jeff Goldblum are great actors but fell way short of Vincent’s performance.
@@federicocamp2231 I really like Jeff goldblum's character but you're absolutely dead on about that they didn't have his ... Well, they just weren't him.
I'm so glad Vincent got to talk about "The Cell". The director has such a strong visual aesthetic & D'Onofrio solidified that world with his performance. Also, I'd love to hear what he was going to say about "The Fall".
To this day, Carl Rudolph Stargher remains one of the most pitiful, sympathetic, and terrifying characters I've ever seen, completely because of D'Onofrio's performance. The Cell is one of the best psychological SciFi thrillers out there. One of my top 50 lifetime favorites. I hope one day they finally release a remastered Director's Cut, and add back in all of the good stuff the studio forced put due to fucking "runtime."
i've been a fan since even before the Cell even came out to me before i saw him play Bobby Goren he played some weird motherfuckers and he was so damn good in them regardless if the film was good or if it was shit.
we were talking about blood meridian this weekend and everybody said Vince baby needs to be the judge... I know tarsem and Paul laufer. Very talented individuals.
this man is one of my heroes im 66yr old and found you are one of the actors that i have never changed the channel on please know i have the highest respect for you as a man i miss seeing you and hope i have many more years of seeing your genius thank you so much
That is actually the film I think about most when I see Vincent. I stumbled on to it by accident in a library. I think I checked that movie out 5 times just because of his performance.
I went to the same high school that Vincent D went to. There’s a story about how the drama dept reached out to him to discuss his career and he was very gracious and kind and had a nice conversation with him. Hialeah gets a bad rap and people like to sh@t talk that city but the people coming out of there are hard workers and down to earth and a little scrappy which is all what you need to make it in the world. This is a great interview.
Thank you MR for getting Mr. D'onofrio on your podcast! He is a great actor! Although a small role in Adventures in Babysitting, he had such a presence as Thor like character.
When you consider the deepth between his character in law and order criminal intent, Jurassic Park, and Daredevil, V.D. has some massive range! He is amazing.
Vincent is an amazing and dynamic actor. His roles and characters are impossible to forget from FMJ to MIB. Great insights into his process and smart with his reasoning. Great job Michael! Bravo gentlemen!
Pooh Bear! Thank you for mentioning The Salton Sea. One of my favorite performances by Vincent D'Onofrio. You are a great actor! And thank you for being so kind to your fans. That story you told was very heartfelt. God bless you
Fantastic coincidence, I've been thinking about Vincent D'onofrio a lot lately. So glad that Dick Wolf saw the potential in what he was doing on Criminal Intent despite everyone else's problems with it. I was also absorbed by his performance on that. It was so weird and different and great.
A lot of shows have been built around really odd eccentric characters. At the end of the day criminal intent lasted many years so Vincent did a great job. CSI Miami is another show where the main guy is absolutely ridiculous, but watching it on reruns I can see why it was such a success. Both shows really differentiated themselves from the other Law and Order and CSI shows
Wow Rosey, great guest! Full Metal jacket is one of my favorite movies, and his performance as Pvt. Pyle is just exceptional. Not to mention his turn as Wilson fisk in Daredevil. Makes me think he probably would've been/should've been cast as Lex Luthor at some point in his career. Think he would've given Rosey a run for his money.
Vincent had a lasting impact on me with his portrayal of the great Robert E Howard in The Whole Wide World back in 1996. He is just superb, you know he is going to bring something special to every role.
Peter Shinkoda, who played Nobu on Daredevil, told a story during a DD cast reunion about working with Vincent. And just telling the story almost brought him to tears. I don't remember the story completely, but there was a day when Peter was suffering a bit of imposter syndrome. He had a question about something that was making it hard for him to continue. He was getting sort of freaked out, and he was in his own head and telling himself he couldn't do this and all of that, and he wasn't getting his concern addressed. Vincent grabbed him by the shoulder and, in full Kingpin costume, marched him over to the director or whoever and very loudly proclaimed that "an actor has a question about his role!" And Peter was like "Vincent just called me an actor! Maybe I do belong here."
So talented, so thoughtful, seems so kind. What inspired me is when I saw an interview where he was advocating for actors healthcare benefits increased, and he was so passionate. Great interview, I take away something from every show, thank you Michael!❤
I never really heard Vincent D’onofrio speak outside his character of Kingpin and for the longest time I thought he sounded just like his character in real life.
One of my favorite actors I’ve ever seen. Even when I was a kid watching him in Law & Order not having the same appreciation of TV/Film like I do now. I still knew he was one of the greats. I love hearing him talk about playing Kingpin.
You mention not knowing what impact you might have on people. You have impacted my life in a major way, and I thank you for it. My husband and I always watched Criminal Intent and loved your character. He passed seven years ago and I had a really bad time with it. I have discovered reruns of CI and watch every time possible. It truly feels he is with me during this time. I can almost feel him. It has helped heal me. God bless you, Mr D’Onofrio. I also enjoy your interviews.
one of the very few actors who has reach :-) it took me a while to piece together that the guy from Full Metal Jacket, was the guy from MIB, was the guy from Law and Order and also an amazing KingPin ....
This is a great interview! I crushed on Vincent D’Onofrio when I first saw him Mystic Pizza in high school and it’s been great seeing him over the years. Always a great performance in whatever he does. My favorite always is the bug from men in black. His physical articulation is unmatched for making the character just unforgettable.
I just finished listening to this podcast and it is delightful. Vincent definitely opened up and had so many great behind the scenes stories. I didn’t realize that he worked so long on SVU. Loved your JM impression. A part 2 is definitely needed. Best podcast ever!!
This guy has so many awesome rolls we could talk about but him in Criminal Intent was just greatness. Just listening to him in that show. So thank you to Dick Wolf for allowing him to do that.
Criminal Intent is the only Law & Order spinoff that I will watch instantly if Mr. D’Onofrio is in the episode. He gives such amazing performances in everything he does. I would wait in line to meet him and I can’t say that for very many actors.
I have loved Vincent for decades!! I think he is one of the most talented and fascinating actors of his generation. This is probably the best interviews I have seen with him. Thank you!
I first noticed Vince in Adventures in Babysitting. I didn't get to see Full Metal Jacket until years later, as I was young then. Next was in Men in Black. Then my true appreciation came when he played my favourite author, Robert E. Howard in The Whole Wide World. His Law and Order character was phenomenal. Then, Kingpin, my goodness, what a thorough embracing of a character and taking it to new heights. Vince D'Onofrio will remain one of the greats of my generation to me.
I’ve seen/heard pretty much every episode of Inside of You. There have been a lot of great interviews - this might be the best! It flows so well, all the questions are spot on, and the behind the scenes stories are awesome! Thanks Rosey, Ryan, and everyone!
Craziest thing about this podcast is the fact that I was convinced Vincent D'Onofrio was an Oscar Winner. How the hell has he not won an Oscar?!?!?!?!?!
I loved his scenes in FMJ, but when Criminal Intent came out, I was really blown away. And then more so on his other work. But his character on CI was fantastic and fun to watch.
I don't know what I would do without you and your Podcast. Going through the most dark times. Listening to your show always fills me with hope and inspiration. Oceans of gratitude for everything you do.
Omg!! Vincent is one of my FAVORITE actors! I would love to meet him someday! He is amazing and to hear him be so humble makes me love him even more! 😊❤
If you haven't seen it check him out in the 1988 movie Mystic Pizza. The movie also has Julia Roberts as one the main stars, as well as an 18 year old Matt Damon in a small part.
Dude's range is out of this world. I watched him in so many different movies.. Truly love his performance as a psycho drug dealer with a fake nose on the film Salton Sea. His cameo as Orson Welles in Ed Wood is also stuff of legends.
Orbach was so old school in real life and that worked out great for his character. Always a gentleman, he personified the "lunchpail" mentality that most character actors simply don't have today.
The movie he’s talking about where they play the sport in a post apocalyptic desert was called the “blood of heroes “in America. I must have watched that movie two dozen times and I still love it today..
I always couldn't wait for the Thor part to come on in Adventures in Babysitting, he convinced me he was Thor as a kid lol. Crazy how you get older and appreciate what versatility an actor has. Vincent is one of those compelling actors that immerses you in what you are watching. Glad he is still playing Marvel characters all these years later too.
Really enjoyed Vincent D'onofrio in Escape Plan and of course Law & Order: Criminal Intent. His character was my favorite part of that show, amazing to hear how tough the working conditions were.
I was luckily enough to be at a company party at and LA bar, in early the 2000s and sat across from Vincent. Getting up my courage, I asked him some questions about acting and theater and we talked for about 45 min. He was very generous with his time and basically sounded just like this interview. Amazingly talented, grounded and friendly. Thanks for all the years of entertainment.
Love him as an actor...every character he plays is memorable...whether its their intensity, sadness, or vulnerability...another memorable movie I loved him in was Mr. Wonderful.
Getting to meet and listen to Vincent, Charlie, and Jon together at Dallas FanExpo was an AMAZING experience. So thankful he is attending these. The wisdom, experience, and insight these gentlemen share is truly impactful. And YES, Vincent is HUGE! 💪
You guys mean something to us. 99.9 percent of us will not be in the entertainment industry, but we still love the connection to the industry. Bruce Campbell taking the time to not just sign an autograph but take the time to talk to me and ask what I do and what I like will stay with me forever.
You guys talked about the small parts & how people DO remember many of them if done well. Vincent has done many as he said, but for me the one which sticks in my mind is his part in "Thirteenth Floor". A film which not many saw & even today is almost impossible to find on any streaming service. It lives on my memory though. 😉
I don’t know Vincent but he seems like a very accomplished actor and is a very composed person, he definitely is his own man. Thanks for another great episode💖
A bright and exciting Inside !! ❤❤🌟🌟 I really like Vincent D’ Onofrio, especially in the excellent Law and Order, Full Metal Jacket and The Cell !! Thank you Michael and Ryan 💙💜🙌🙌
Vincent is truly one of my favorite actors. Brilliant! Absolutely brilliant in his delivery. He is to acting what Streisand is to singing. There is none better. yes, he is Thor to his fans.....Love you, Vincent. The best to you and yours!!!!!
Fantastic, love these interviews. Thinking back to his performance in Full Metal Jacket all the way to his Wilson Fisk portrayal this actor, wow. Vincent is awesome.
Vincent D'onofrio is legitimately a generational talent. One of the best character actors ever.
His characters' foil have an enjoyable intelligence, like the legends of early film. Without the twirling moustache. Agree, wholeheartedly.
Loved his work in Law &Order actually,if I see he’s in something I always watch. He’s just one of those guys you know is going to be great.
EDGAR SUIT!
Agreed! He is a real treasure of an actor.
He's a proper chameleon. And I love how he still has this boyishly soft speaking voice, but can put on this stentorian bellow as Kingpin. Amazing actor.
Vincent D’Onofrio is one of those rare character actors that is just so skilled at their craft that it gives you chills. Like the perfect guitar solo or opera singer, you can’t help but have an emotional response.
💯
So true. When I see him in any role...It's a joy.
Even worse, he is so good in his acting I for one at least have a hard time realising when he moves from method acting to just simple acting. The broken characters he play are also the best interpretation. From the first time I saw him in Full Metall Jacket, to Eco I was captivated. And even in Law and Orde he made a fine apearence as a "normal" dude. I think we should mention this, his role there is the most mentioning one, because it is the one, that is interpreting the most normal person Vincent playe4d so far as I know. 😁
Lex Luthor meets the Kingpin!!! Both iconic performances that are going to be hard for anyone else to top.
You may argue best/not best acting, BUT I give you that, those two defined the 2 roles they have played a lot! At least me, anytime I thin of LL I see Rosenbaum and only him, and when I see WF I can only see D'onofrio.
Kind of strange toi see those "Supervillans" having a chat. 🤣
I forgot how great Vincent was in MIB. This guy has an amazing resume.
His WALK as "Edgar" was unbelievably awesome. Voice work, too.
He made that movie as the villain. If I was him I'd answer the door for Halloween trick or treaters as the MIB alien. 🤣
He was in JFK too
He wore huge knee braces and tight so he looked stiffer. In a movie w will smith tommy lee and rip torn he stole the show
I met him walking in his old neighborhood in manhattan which was very close to the NYPD police academy on 20th. I was in uniform and said “Hey Det. Big fan” or something else goofy and he stopped and couldn’t have been kinder. I told him I was a big fan of the radio show he was hosting at that period of time (also of course his acting) Within a few mins he offered to give me a copy of a Velvet Underground album that he have a couple of copies of. As a cop in manhattan for 25 years I met my share of famous and wildly talented people, no finer than Vincent D. Awesome interview enjoyed every second. He is amazing, top 5 actor of his generation in my opinion.
D'Onofrio always has that gravitas about him that makes every role he plays interesting.
Holy crap, love this man. Just finishing up criminal intent, and he’s so good in whatever he does.
Right!
Especially the Magnificent seven Remake
Vincent D'onofrio had a guest role in "Homicide: Life of the Street" that was unforgettable! He played a businessman who got caught between a subway car and the platform. The writing and his acting were amazing!!!
I was going to make the exact comment. Kudos. 'unforgettable' is definitely the adjective to use. Well chosen . Everything about that episode was A+.
That was one of those episodes that sticks with you…
That one, the one with Robin Williams & "JMJ" are my top 3 HLOTS episodes
WHat is the JMJ one ?
That Homicide episode broke my heart into pieces. Can never rewatch. Vdo is that kind of wonderfful actor.
I met this man last month at FanX in Salt Lake City. Talked for a minute, shook hands and got a picture with him. When we were about to take the picture, asked him if we could do the Goren tilt.

Love Vincent. He was iconic in his role in Daredevil. His portrayal was as if Kingpin had climbed off a comic book page.
Law and Order:Criminal intent was my favorite law and order series. He was fantastic in it so was the entire cast.
His quirky take on being a detective was fun. Very Columbo-esque.
@@izuela7677Oh most definitely.
Totally agree! He is a great actor, so talented
Although I thought Vincnet did a great job with his role, I think the writing on Criminal Intent was not as the Original Law and Order. I think they saved the best ideas (nad thus scripts) for the Original.
The way Michael describes the acting of Vincent in Law & Order was sooo perfect. And such a great story.
I watched Law & Order: Criminal intent mainly for Vincent.
Great actor, great interview.
I remember watching criminal intent years ago and thinking, "God this guy is one of the best actors Ive ever seen"
I was fortunate enough to be a production assistant on Criminal Intent Season three and to work with Vince- he was quite a presence a consummate professional and he could be such a nice guy (but he didn’t tolerate ANY bullsh*t on set). I enjoyed that season and he was a big part of that

Holy shit that was him!
@@joeincognito3612 yup
I like to show people a photo of him as Thor and then as the killer from The Cell (when he has the nipple piercing and horns). It’s the most metal thing I’ve seen.
Yeahhh!!!
His take on Goren was nothing short of amazing.
He made law & order criminal intent not just my favorite law & order, but my favorite cop show Ever...
And I'm a huge Bosch fan.
He played the modern/ twisted/ internally conflicted/ version of Sherlock Holmes.
Had no idea the brutal workload he was going through, it explains so much.
This is an excellent interview,
I heard Michael rosenbaum's approach was very unique,
Consider me Hooked 🤗
Agreed, Vincent made Criminal Intent awesome. Him coupled with the crazy overarching plot just made the show that much better.
You are 100% correct. His role was so brilliant that nobody could replace him even though they tried during his absence. Chris North and Jeff Goldblum are great actors but fell way short of Vincent’s performance.
@@federicocamp2231 I really like Jeff goldblum's character but you're absolutely dead on about that they didn't have his ...
Well, they just weren't him.
"I learned from Gregory Hines," another piece of the puzzle. Both of them are top drawer.
I love him!! He was amazing in law and order CI. He made that show. I also loved him in Mystic Pizza, seeing him so young and so handsome! 😊
I'm glad Vincent mentioned The Whole Wide World. I honestly think it's his best movie. A real tearjerker 😢
Great movie. He made a real impact with that role, Vincent brings so much depth, you can't help but get pulled in.
I'm so glad Vincent got to talk about "The Cell". The director has such a strong visual aesthetic & D'Onofrio solidified that world with his performance. Also, I'd love to hear what he was going to say about "The Fall".
To this day, Carl Rudolph Stargher remains one of the most pitiful, sympathetic, and terrifying characters I've ever seen, completely because of D'Onofrio's performance. The Cell is one of the best psychological SciFi thrillers out there. One of my top 50 lifetime favorites. I hope one day they finally release a remastered Director's Cut, and add back in all of the good stuff the studio forced put due to fucking "runtime."
Easily one of my favorite and most watched films.
i've been a fan since even before the Cell even came out to me before i saw him play Bobby Goren he played some weird motherfuckers and he was so damn good in them regardless if the film was good or if it was shit.
we were talking about blood meridian this weekend and everybody said Vince baby needs to be the judge... I know tarsem and Paul laufer. Very talented individuals.
Been a huge fan of Vincent since Criminal Intent and he seems like such a down to earth guy, this was great to watch.

Love that Vincent mentioned The Whole Wide World. He was INCREDIBLE as Robert E Howard and the film has sadly been mostly forgotten about now.
I love that movie.

I Love The Salton Sea! 😳😱😮 It’s So Good! And Vincent is the Best Thing In It! 😉👍
I was so surprised to see him in that movie, which was highly underrated.
Yes! Love him in that movie! Was waiting for someone to mention The Salton Sea.
As a spidey fan, I WILL NOT forgive disney if they under use this man's talent n how he brings kingpin to life.
so happy he mentioned _The Whole Wide World_ as it is my most favorite role/performance that he's done

@@samanthab1923 excellent subject for a painting!
@@Atestinal Right? I thought it was weird too 😆 he had a really good one of Keith Richards
Wow Rosey, great guest! Full Metal jacket is one of my favorite movies, and his performance as Pvt. Pyle is just exceptional. Not to mention his turn as Wilson fisk in Daredevil. Makes me think he probably would've been/should've been cast as Lex Luthor at some point in his career. Think he would've given Rosey a run for his money.
This guy is an actor's actor. He's so great at what he does it's honestly crazy
In the top 5 greatest living actors.
Vincent had a lasting impact on me with his portrayal of the great Robert E Howard in The Whole Wide World back in 1996. He is just superb, you know he is going to bring something special to every role.
Peter Shinkoda, who played Nobu on Daredevil, told a story during a DD cast reunion about working with Vincent. And just telling the story almost brought him to tears.

In my opinion Vincent is one last of a dying breed of actors he really makes his movies and shows come to life

I've been a long time fan since Full Metal Jacket. Love him! Can't wait to watch this later!
This wonderful man and Heath Ledger are the only two actors to truly personify the villains they were portraying. Deadly accurate portrayals.
I thought Tilda Swinton also accurately depicted the white witch in Narnia the lion the witch and the wardrobe

Crime against humanity.
Micheal was totally kissing his ass at that point
@@ConnorMcCartney95 I was being serious. I actually looked it up, I was convinced he had one an Oscar.
@@jordibarguno for what?
lovely man, great actor 😍
I loved his scenes in FMJ, but when Criminal Intent came out, I was really blown away. And then more so on his other work. But his character on CI was fantastic and fun to watch.
Vincent is an excellent actor!
I don't know what I would do without you and your Podcast. Going through the most dark times. Listening to your show always fills me with hope and inspiration. Oceans of gratitude for everything you do.
Always a great interview with you, Michael. Vincent is truly amazing and you produced a gem together. Thanks!
This man is a brilliant Actor.. he brings such a complex layering to the characters he plays!!
Omg!! Vincent is one of my FAVORITE actors! I would love to meet him someday! He is amazing and to hear him be so humble makes me love him even more! 😊❤
If you haven't seen it check him out in the 1988 movie Mystic Pizza. The movie also has Julia Roberts as one the main stars, as well as an 18 year old Matt Damon in a small part.
Dude's range is out of this world. I watched him in so many different movies.. Truly love his performance as a psycho drug dealer with a fake nose on the film Salton Sea. His cameo as Orson Welles in Ed Wood is also stuff of legends.
Orbach was so old school in real life and that worked out great for his character. Always a gentleman, he personified the "lunchpail" mentality that most character actors simply don't have today.
The movie he’s talking about where they play the sport in a post apocalyptic desert was called the “blood of heroes “in America. I must have watched that movie two dozen times and I still love it today..
D’Onofrio is a living legend!
I always couldn't wait for the Thor part to come on in Adventures in Babysitting, he convinced me he was Thor as a kid lol.
Crazy how you get older and appreciate what versatility an actor has. Vincent is one of those compelling actors that immerses you in what you are watching.
Glad he is still playing Marvel characters all these years later too.
Really enjoyed Vincent D'onofrio in Escape Plan and of course Law & Order: Criminal Intent. His character was my favorite part of that show, amazing to hear how tough the working conditions were.
He was an excellent Robert E. Howard and a very good Kingpin, and of course great in his tragic role in Full Metal Jacket.
Michael , you have the most amazing circle of friends , acquaintances , and colleagues. Keep 'em comming !
The Magnificent Seven remake underrated performance by Vincent D'onfrio.
I was luckily enough to be at a company party at and LA bar, in early the 2000s and sat across from Vincent. Getting up my courage, I asked him some questions about acting and theater and we talked for about 45 min. He was very generous with his time and basically sounded just like this interview. Amazingly talented, grounded and friendly. Thanks for all the years of entertainment.
"The Cell" is probably one of my favorite movies with Vincent. I'll watch anything he's in. Great interview Rosie!
Love him as an actor...every character he plays is memorable...whether its their intensity, sadness, or vulnerability...another memorable movie I loved him in was Mr. Wonderful.
I've just decided that little bit of music at the beginning is my favorite "theme song" besides West Wing.
I love how he puts this..."I need to serve the story..."
Getting to meet and listen to Vincent, Charlie, and Jon together at Dallas FanExpo was an AMAZING experience. So thankful he is attending these. The wisdom, experience, and insight these gentlemen share is truly impactful. And YES, Vincent is HUGE! 💪
Vincent is simply the best!
Glad you got to sit down with him and share 👍
He’s a treasure to watch. I’m glad he’s contributed so much to the world. What a legacy!
He's mesmerizing
I am learning so much about him. He definitely opened up. Best podcast ever!
How this guy never won a Emmy for his work on Criminal Intent is ridiculous.
Did he talk about how he created his character for Men in Black? That was phenomenal physical acting!
We didn't hear the Gregory Hines story!!! I agree with Michael about Vincent being a candidate for an Oscar... sometime... in something...
That was your Best Interview Ever.
You guys mean something to us. 99.9 percent of us will not be in the entertainment industry, but we still love the connection to the industry. Bruce Campbell taking the time to not just sign an autograph but take the time to talk to me and ask what I do and what I like will stay with me forever.
Salute of the Jugger!! Great film ..... truly underrated .... D'onofrio was great in it - just a raw natural talent ...
Heck of an actor, seems such a decent guy too. Baumcake you have by far the best celeb interview podcast in the world right now!
You guys talked about the small parts & how people DO remember many of them if done well. Vincent has done many as he said, but for me the one which sticks in my mind is his part in "Thirteenth Floor". A film which not many saw & even today is almost impossible to find on any streaming service. It lives on my memory though. 😉
I think about that show a lot when I'm doing long stretches of driving. I think what if the world as I know it just ends and it really is a game?
I don’t know Vincent but he seems like a very accomplished actor and is a very composed person, he definitely is his own man. Thanks for another great episode💖
How have you never seen full metal jacket ...
1 of the Best movies ever
"anything to help service the story" .. man, he gets it.
Amazing episode!!!💙🤘 I was fortunate to Meet Vincent D'Onofrio this past July at Galexycon NC Unbelievable Nice guy 👏
9:07 was really looking forward to that advice Gregory Hines gave Vincent... :(
Great interview, some real laughs from Rosey there. 😆
A bright and exciting Inside !! ❤❤🌟🌟 I really like Vincent D’ Onofrio, especially in the excellent Law and Order, Full Metal Jacket and The Cell !! Thank you Michael and Ryan 💙💜🙌🙌
Vincent is truly one of my favorite actors. Brilliant! Absolutely brilliant in his delivery. He is to acting what Streisand is to singing. There is none better. yes, he is Thor to his fans.....Love you, Vincent. The best to you and yours!!!!!
Vincent such as an amazing actor ever since I saw him in “Adventures in Babysitting” love him he legitimate a great guy and actor. 😊😊😊😊
Fantastic, love these interviews. Thinking back to his performance in Full Metal Jacket all the way to his Wilson Fisk portrayal this actor, wow. Vincent is awesome.
One of the best ep's of Inside of You. Absolutely loved every second
Utterly enthralling. What a tremendous soul. Another great episode.
A truly humble man. He has so much life experience that he should tell the world. Either in a book or through art in his own way.
