Vincent D'Onofrio (Law & Order, Full Metal Jacket) joins us this week and opens up on his process of letting go on set, fully embracing the idea of failure in service of a better artistic performance. Vincent is candid about his decade long experience on Law & Order - from the burnout he suffered on set, to the disdain certain crew had for his choices in the role, to the gratitude he had for the actor it helped him become. We also talk about the intensity on set shooting Kubrick’s Full Metal Jacket, growing up introverted, and having to teach actors certain lessons.

VINCENT D'ONOFRIO Shares the Truth to the Intensity on the Set of FULL METAL JACKET #insideofyou #vincentdonofrio #lawandorder - Zábava
My friends and I watched Full Metal Jacket when it first came out. We were kids laughing at Pyle in the beginning but the laughter stopped when the soap beating happened.
My brother had the cardboard standy from the movie in his bedroom in the late 80s. We used to get them from our local video store. This film actually made him WANT to join the Marines. Some people takeaway the wrong message from movies...
Thought you were gonna say "stopped laughing at the murder/suicide" part, but it was the soap beating apparently...
You mean, it didn't stop when Hartman nearly strangled his ass at the very beginning?
They can be called "blanket parties". Someone in the downstairs at Lackland basic got one, I remember. I was upstairs.
@@SnoopyReads What wrong message? The movie's message isn't anti-Marine. I think it addresses the cognitive dissonance that runs rampant through a warfighter's head: Do the thing you've been trained to do all while fighting that deep-rooted programming that says killing is wrong.
The boot camp portion of the movie is so good that the Vietnam half of the film almost feels like a letdown without Pyle in it. He played the heck out of that role. The transformation was unreal.
👍👍
Watch Robert Ager’s analysis of it. He proves that private Pile IS in the whole movie. Just a theory, not PROOF..but interesting.
yessssssssssssssss
@@blacjackdaniels200 yes he's reincarnated into animal mother
@@66kaisersoza Yeah Man, LOVE that theory. It all adds up with the lighting in the dreams vs reality. Sometimes Ager gets ahead of Himself or carried away, but I think He was on the money with this movie.
I cried and felt so sorry for Pyle
Sign of a great actor
Loved Vincent in law & order too
D'Onofrio is a national treasure.
When Vincent plays any role, you stop seeing him as an actor and he becomes the character he's playing. Excellence in acting.
And "The Break Up."
Hmm, ... I always felt like, "why would an actor of D'Onofrio's caliber take a role as lame as a detective in Law & Order?
@@smaller_cathedrals A steady gig pays the bills, gives you exposure, name recognition, and a chance to hone your talent. Primarily to pay the bills, though, IMO.
Vincent is a fine actor, love his work, and I miss R. Lee Ermey, what a character he was!
He was 70 when he passed, but it seemed like a short career, I wish we saw that power in many films
Most people probably wouldn't know this but the second half of the movie was actually shot first... they filmed the entire "vietnam" section and then had a break in filming for a couple months before they resumed to filming the boot camp segment. Just before shooting commenced on the boot camp part, Lee Ermy was in a car accident and had multiple ribs broken. When they were shooting his scenes, Ermy was in huge pain the entire time, having to yell and scream his lines, other actors on set reported him keeling over in between takes and clutching at his torso and struggling to catch his breath. Absolute legendary performance he managed to put on still.
my word is poontang" not Liberty
It's been _over 35 years..._ and Vincent still remembers the details.
Many people don't know that lee Ermey played a drill instructor in an earlier Vietnam film called Boys in Company C. It's also a good movie.
To be polite, almost every fan of the movie does know R. Lee Ermey was a real drill instructor.
Everyone knows he was a real drill instructor, but not everyone knows he was in the movie Boys in Company C.@@chriscorona4938
He was also a helo pilot extra in Apocalypse Now, attack on the village
@@Pops-km8xt I remember that.
He was also in Purple Hearts, with Ken Wahl and Cheryl Ladd.
I read that Kubrick stopped the shoot when Ermey yelled the “reach-around” line and asked Ermey what he meant. Ermey was nervous about telling him but when he did, Kubrick started laughing really hard and decided to keep the line in the film.
I did basic training at Bassingbourn barracks in 01, and It was surreal seeing all the same buildings and roads from FMJ, what an outstanding film and performance from Vincent.
It was filmed in Cambridgeshire?
@@jamiewilson5679 I believe the 'Nam scenes were filmed at a disused gas station in London, but all the training scenes were filmed at Bassingbourn from what I gather. Although I think the bunk rooms were a sound stage.
Kubrick never left the UK after filming Lolita
@@jamiewilson5679 'cinematyler' has some great video's on here about the making of FMJ. The use of UK locations really is fascinating to see. As well as the aforementioned Bassingbourn. The abandoned Beckton gas works in east london formed the bulk of the Vietnam 'urban' scenes. The more rural Vietnam scenes were filmed on Cliffe marshes, near the thames estuary in Kent.
Interesting… I did not know it was filmed at Bassingbourn. I thought it was an actual corner of Paris Island…. I am a Hollywood marine. lol
I have always loved D'Onofrio. He is a great actor.
Vincent D'Onofrio always does a great characterization in whatever he tries. 👏👏👏
I love Vincent in everything I see him in. Also, The Cell is a great movie.
I love The Cell. Saw it in the theater and then when the CD came out it was the first one I bought. Also the soundtrack is great.
Still scared of him because of that.
Seemed beautiful and spooky at the same time
@@exclamationpointman3852 Incredible costumes, production design, and music too.
@@spinsandneedles yes
Two great genre villains, cant beat it
Rip R. Lee
Strange, I never viewed him nor Lee's character as villains. These were people affected by like and who knows how people react to life.
Vincent is one of the finest actors to ever be on any screen.
What a part. Vincent made it one of the most interesting in all of Kubrick's films. The change in Leonard was shocking but it was meant to be that way after his personality changed and he fully committed to killing.
You're interviewing Vincent about FMJ but you couldn't remember who R.Lee was. Speechless.
That was pretty bad. It showed the interviewer was lazy and did not have respect for the film or those who took part in it. It was an insult.
Yeah very poor@@ingleringlet-snipps3rd449
Anyone can blank on a name. I recently blanked on Lou Albano's name even though I used to watch The Super Mario Bros. Super Show religiously and I knew damn well who played Mario.
That is NOT a valid excuse. Cmon really?@@furrykef
He's a fellow dumb actor. Cut him some slack.
Vincent is my all-time favorite actor. That guy has a talent that I have literally never seen in anyone else to this day.
The best of his generation.
Vincent D'Onofrio one of the best actors of our time !!!
Great insight into Lee Ermey.
That guy was tough as Balls.......
Once a Marine, always a Marine. R. Lee was exactly like my Drill Instructors when I stepped on the yellow footprints at MCRD San Diego in June of 1974.
@@jameskey9627 Appreciate you James!
My favorite Law and Order character
Me too. His character was actually quite scary. He'd be calm and methodical then out of NOWHERE!!! HE'D YELL and EXPLODE with rage, then immediately switch it off. His totally unpredictable fury was rather terrifying
Ermey was in Boys from Company C and he was in Apocalypse Now. I'd say he was an actor....
He was in Mississippi Burning also !!
And don't forget the classic, "The Rift" 😁
(edit) ok, I get the context, lol. Ya, it's an early movie.
Vincent was amazing in that movie. Iconic movie and character. He looks great .
Vincent looks young!
Damn, good work!
He really does look good!
Armey had had acting experiences in the past.
The first time I saw him was in the movie, "The Boy's in Company C."
There he also played a Drill Sgt.
Then he was in another movie called "Purple Hearts."
Again he played a Marine NCO in Vietnam.
He also was in the film "Apocalypse Now" where he is a Army chopper pilot.
But he really stood out in Full Metal Jacket.
I think he help make that film.
The man he replaced as the DI, was the door gunner shooting civilians.
Vincent was incredible in that brilliant movie.
WAIT WHAT??
I LEGITIMATELY DID NOT KNOW THAT PRIVATE PYLE AND KINGPIN WERE PLAYED BY THE SAME PERSON
NO WONDER HE'S SUCH AN INCREDIBLE ACTOR
What a guest! Awesome ❤
All time favorite actor. I wonder if guys like him get tired of answering questions about the same movie over and over and over again.
This movie was released the year after I completed my own USMC recruit training (boot camp) and it sure brought back memories. MCRD training did not change much between the 1960's until the end of the 80's so everything except for being choked by a DI actually happened. There were a few injuries and fatalities of recruits, mostly at Parris Island but enough to make changes. I was the first group to enjoy those changes as the DI's could no longer actually strike you or choke you, however you would be amazed at what they came up with. Instead of hitting you they just slammed you into a wall or on the ground. They spit on you as in hocking a big one on you, and they would slap you and even kick you. It sucked, it was not fun. At least not in 86'.
'85-'89... four of us sitting in a movie theater, several times clued in that we were the only ones (everyone else was a civi) laughing at the shear reality of it all...
Yes in 1986
When I first watched Full Metal Jacket I had no idea who R. Lee Ermey was but I knew he was the real deal. There are certain things I saw that only a real drill instructor would know and how to compose themselves. He was exactly like the drill Sargent I had in basic training and R.Lee’s demeanor and military bearing was spot on. Only the real deal would know how to pull it off .
What a great interview. One of my favorite actors
Such a great film and acting!!
This man is a legit national treasure. He is such an epic actor.
Man’s on a tier of his own.
This intresting to hear. I'm always curious about the creative process, what goes into making such a film and the overall talent involved.
TERRANCE OUT
You got any G virus bro?
Vincent D nofrio is A class Act Sincerely True Legend in his own right as Fantastic realistic Character Actor ! I know the Cell (2000) with Him and JLO and Vince Vaughn was not that highly unlikely That Great of Crime Drama?! Sincerely from his hilarious portrayal in Men in Black (1997) that Edgar in an Edgar suit Alien Character awe man!! 😂 and his Time on Law& order Criminal intent! Vincent does not get the deserved props he gets! Anyways speaking on the late Great Arile Emmery yeah That OG you can Tell the intensity of Drill Sergeant type Character Cold hearted to Vincent's character in Full Metal Jacket! He had enough his Character went insane just Fantastic realistic Characterization deep depth sorrow and dysfunction! Vincent is true actor thank you again sir for some memorable Characters you have portrayed! Looks like he's still getting ready to Continue his Kingpin aka Wilson Fisk For Marvel Disney?!
Absolutely 👍🏽
He was incredible in the Cell. In my opinion, his best role.
His lesser known work is The Whole Wide World, probably because it’s a romance/drama. He plays a troubled writer and boy, he is flawless.
Dude is unrecognizable to me. If he was in the line in front of me at the store I'd have no idea. But once he started talking I'd hear his voice and it would drive me crazy because I'd never be able to reconcile the person in front of me with the voice I recognized.
D'Onofrio is hands-down my favorite actor of all time. The man is a chameleon and an unbelievable actor!
that's not exactly true, R. Lee Ermy wasn't so green, not only was it not his first movie; it wasn't his first time to play a drill instructor. He played that part in The Boys in Company C
My mom showed me a picture of my dad from his Army days in uniform. Looked shockingly similar to Vincent's character.
It made him famous, so I'd say it was worth it.
YAP, HE WAS THE REAL DEAL AND I MISS HIM, I ALSO LOVE WATCHING THE BIG ITALIAN GUY, THAT ROLE IN REMAKE OF THE MAGNIFICANT 7, WOW, I'M ALSO OF ITALIAN DESENT !!!
As a former Marine I absolutely love this movie!!!! Semper Fi!!!🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
Casting director for Full Metal Jacket gets an A+ ! Couldn't imagine anyone else in those roles 👍👍
I never realized that Wilson Fisk was also private pile.
Imagine being an actor and meeting a guy like The Sgt. must have been so surreal and the stuff he could scream was incredible
Wow Vince looks absolutely phenomenal
I’ve always enjoyed his acting. Everything from Mystic Pizza, The Blood of Heroes, & Strange Days to Law & Order ⭐️
LOVE ya, Vincent. I’ve had a huge crush on him for years. Superb actor! ❤️🕊️🔥
Ermey was in Vietnam for 14 months. He did however serve 2 years in Okinawa
I always loved this movie…
I think it was a great recruiting tool for many of us marines in the 90’s. lol
I've always wondered about this.
R. Lee Ermey was an actor. He’s in Apocalypse Now and The Boys In Company C which was also a Vietnam War movie
R. Lee Ermey never saw combat, but a drill instructor. When I went through bootcamp in 1990, it was very similar to the bootcamp scenes in the movie. The blanket parties were not doled out until guys hit the fleet. Only everyone wore gas mask and ponchos to keep NCIS away. Great movie and great actors.
Watching Vincent now in Godfather of Harlem. Great show, great performance.
I was a Private Joker in my Platoon in Basic Training. We had about 12 quitters and they were looked down upon throughout the whole company. But this one kid was just such a dummy and everyone hated him because he would be put in the middle and we would suffer for his mistakes and carelessness like Pyle(i didnt mind it. Its training). Since my platoon knew i had empathy for the kid. Anyways 3 days before graduation i was cleaning out his locker(he was out by then) when i found 9 rounds of 5.56 hidden away in a ball of crumbled paper in his assigned locker. It worried me most when i seen he engraved each bullet with a letter. I never want to think of what would have happened if i didnt stick up for him when everyone gave him crap.
Nice to see how chipper D'Onofrio is talking about the film 30 years later. Can always tell the Kubrick Club ... they have lots to say about the work!
The beginning of that movie all through Boot Camp was exactly spot on
Got drafted and sent to Nam in 1971. Drill instructors in boot camp then AIT NCO'S & Officers were tough because they know halve of us were going to Nam. Did more running in AIT then boot camp. Glad there broke our balls morning, noon & night.
Such an intense scene.
Love Vincent D’Onofrio❤️❤️ He is the consummate actor of actors!!!!!!! Loved him in the remake of MAGNIFICENT SEVEN❤ this wasn’t Vincent’s line, but said about him by Chris Pratt: “ I think that bear is wearing people’s clothes.” I love that whole scene from the second Vincent storms into it to the second he walks out of scene…..(and every scene he was in)
Consummate actor!!!!!
Even though it was a small roll I really liked him in Brooklyns Finest the way he described what he did to the judge was very believable in the way he spoke
They get rid of the Piles before you go to the rifle range. I did see one guy lose his mind in the fleet. He went home on leave and when he came back we went to the field. He was on watch and when we woke he was in his long johns. I thought he woke up late. Then he said he was mining the area with explosives. They keep him in the unit for about a week before sending him to head doctors.
Full Metal Jacket was the most realistic depiction of what Marine Corps boot camp was like in that era. I felt like I was back at Parris Island.
“What’s his name, I’m sorry”. I love the look on Vincent’s face, he is slightly annoyed that the interviewer doesn’t even know his name.
Vincent D’Onofrio and Jeffrey Combs and two of my most favorite actors.
Vince is a PHENOMINAL Actor!!!! RIP GUNNY!!!!! SF!!!!🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🫡🫡🫡
Looking back at my basic training, I think that Drill Instructors need to have a certain level of acting ability. After all they are often 'performing' to a platoon or even company sized audience so maybe not that big a leap.
Found it!!
Vincent D 'onofrio Is An Absolutely Great Excellent Actor
Wow
You don't get any better film scenes than the first 10 minutes of Full Metal Jacket.
I love Lee Army. What a treasure. I always enjoyed him on the screen. I think the slightly unpolished image lent credibility. I miss him so. Great guy who did lots of charity work.
Vincent says Lee was green and then goes on to say that it was his first movie himself. Wouldn't that make you green also?
Yeah that was the point he was making, he was green but he felt like Lee was even greener - because Lee hadn't trained as an actor so he would seem green to someone who chose acting as a primary career even if it was both their first film
R. Lee Ermey wasn’t green in 1987. He had already been acting for 10 years prior to FMJ.
I was serving my 6th year in the Marine Corps stationed at Camp Pendelton when FMJ opened at theaters....I found myself sitting at attention during the whole Boot Camp scene...LMAO! talk about PTSD hahahahahahahaha....Epic!...Semper Fi Vincent D'Onofrio & Rest in Peace Gysgt R.Lee Ermey...
GOD REST HIS SOUL "LEE."
My seargent got us to learn our drill on the exact same lines and position as in the movie. He was called Sgt Tucker 23 Sas Signaller.
Could you clarify your comment? As I interpret what you are attempting to convey is confusing, to say the least.
It also would present an impossibility, as I read it. That would be especially true if by, "...got us to learn our drill on the exact same lines and position as in the movie...", you mean some of the exact land marks depicted in the movie. Mainly because the ENTIRE movie was filmed in the UK.
Did you boot camp in the UK? I didn't. Rather, I went to boot camp at MCRD, PI, SC at the same time that Ermey was in boot camp at MCRD, SD, CA!
Semper Fi
THE Kingpin
I think Vincent is mistaken. FMJ was not his first film. He was in Adventures in Babysitting.
No one could do the Marine Drill Instructors voice inflection or "sayings" unless you had been on Parris island during Vietnam and experienced them...but having said that, anyone who was there heard the exact same things as were said in this movie and can reproduce them as second nature. It's one of those Had to be there things...Semper Fi.
You might want to check a little movie called the Boys & Company C that came out a long time before full metal jacket and guess who was in that one as the drill instructor yeah
Vincent’s first movie was: “The First Turn-On” 1983. FMJ wasn’t his first movie.
R. Lee Ermey’s first film was: “The Boys In Company C” 1978. FMJ was not his first movie.
The First Turn-On! was his first film. It's a good film Vincent!
I have the biggest crush on Vincent
The role and character of pyle made a good movie spectacular.
When Gunny told Pyle that he climbed obstacles like old people phuk....that was pure comedy gold right there!
Absolute unsung hero in pop culture
R. Lee Ermey was the greatest treasure the United Stated States Marine Corps. gave us! The Marine Corps. was his first and greatest love in his life! May he rest in peace!
Rest In Peace Lee Ermey. 1944-2018
D'Onifrio should won an Oscar.
Lee played in, “The Boys in Company C” in 1978. I really don’t think he was green. He had been around acting for a while by the mid 1980s when Full Metal Jacket was made.
Not mentioned here is R. Lee Ermey was not originally case for that role in FMJ, he was an advisor and brought on to make it realistic but Kubrick liked him so much he gave him the role eventhough he had no acting experience.
Boys in company c , if I remember right was before full metal jacket. And lee played a drill instructor in that.
spot on that is correct
@@davidtignor6698 he acted before fmj
Its him! Look! It's Thor!!!
❤
Ahaha not many people are going to get that reference. I remember telling my brother that Vince was actually the first actor to portray Thor in a movie. He didn't believe me so I showed him the clip🤣🤣
So sad VDO’s character was so short “lived” or he would have been on the Oscar list. UNREAL performance for a first movie.
Is that Kingpin from Daredevil?
Volunteering to go back to Vietnam twice..wow. That's a hard ass soldier.
Marine. You never call a Marine a "soldier".
Happy birthday dear Jesus, happy birthday to you
My respect Lee Emmey just went up 300% when I heard that he willingly volunteered to go BACK to Vietnam... TWICE
My one question would be, do the actors and the crew know how much meaner the movie is in German language? For example, Pyre gets called "Private Paula" to amplify him being a "pussy" and the black guy, Private Brown, gets called "Private Snow White" by Lee Ermey in the German dub.
"That's a STUD!"
Yes,... Yes, he was!
R.I.P. Lee
The first time i seen this movie it was with my dad on a hacked video decipher satellite dish on HBO. I can remember just laughing at all the things Hartman said. Dad didn't laugh because he was there. He could identify with what they were going through.
