- Vincent Philip D'Onofrio (/dəˈnɒfrioʊ/; born June 30, 1959) is an American actor and filmmaker. He is known for his supporting and leading roles in both film and television. He has been nominated for a Primetime Emmy Award.
His roles include Private Leonard "Gomer Pyle" Lawrence in Full Metal Jacket (1987), Edgar the Bug in Men in Black (1997) and Men in Black: The Series (1997-2001), Carl Stargher in The Cell (2000), New York City Police Detective Robert Goren in Law & Order: Criminal Intent (2001-11), Victor "Vic" Hoskins in Jurassic World (2015), and Wilson Fisk / Kingpin in four television series of the Marvel Cinematic Universe.
Early life
D'Onofrio was born on June 30, 1959, in Bensonhurst, Brooklyn, New York City, New York. He is of Italian descent, with ancestors from Naples.[2] His parents Gennaro and Phyllis D'Onofrio met while Gennaro was stationed in Hawaii with the U.S. Air Force. Gennaro was trained as an interior decorator but spent most of his spare time in amateur theater.[3] Vincent is the youngest of three siblings. His older siblings are Antoinette (born 1956) and Elizabeth (born 1957), an actress and drama coach residing in Fort Myers Beach, Florida.[4] He was raised in Hawaii and Colorado during his early years.[5]
D'Onofrio's parents divorced when he was young; his mother later married George Meyer. He became stepbrother to Guy and Connie, Meyer's children from a previous marriage.[citation needed] The family relocated to the Hialeah, Florida area. D'Onofrio has described himself as a shy boy who spent "a lot of time in my room, staying in my head",[6] later became interested in magic and sleight of hand, tricks he learned from Cuban entertainers who owned a small magic shop.[3]
In his teens, he worked backstage in set building and sound production at a number of community theaters run by his father.[citation needed] He graduated from Hialeah-Miami Lakes Senior High School.[7]
Career
Acting and filmmaking
D'Onofrio in 2014
After graduating from high school, D'Onofrio started to appear on stage. During an 18-month stint at the University of Colorado in Boulder, Colorado, he was involved with small, community-theater productions. He later studied method acting at the American Stanislavsky Theater and the Actors Studio, under coaches Sonia Moore and Sharon Chatten,[8] which landed him his first paid role in off-Broadway's This Property Is Condemned.[6] He went on to appear in a number of their productions, including Of Mice and Men and Sexual Perversity in Chicago. D'Onofrio continued his career by performing in many New York University student productions while also working as a bouncer at the Hard Rock Cafe, a bodyguard for Robert Plant and Yul Brynner[5] and a deliveryman.
In 1984, he made his Broadway debut as Nick Rizzoli in Open Admissions.[9] In 1986, D'Onofrio took on the role often considered the defining moment in his acting career, as Pvt. Leonard Lawrence, an overweight, clumsy Marine recruit in the movie Full Metal Jacket. On a tip from friend Matthew Modine, D'Onofrio was urged to send audition tapes to director Stanley Kubrick, in England. Four tapes later, D'Onofrio landed the role. Originally, the character of Pvt. Lawrence had been written as a "skinny ignorant redneck"; however, Kubrick believed the role would have more impact if the character were big and clumsy. D'Onofrio gained 70 lb (32 kg) for the role, bringing his weight to 280 lb (130 kg).[10] This remains the record for most weight gained by an actor for a film.[11] While filming an obstacle course scene for the movie, D'Onofrio injured his left knee, compounded by the excessive weight, which required surgical reconstruction.[12]

Big D’Onofrio fan from Criminal Intent. He so young here, excellent interview
ive never seen vincent this dark before.
Well he is of Southern Italian descent.
Loox like foggy
You've never seen him play Wilson Fisk?!
@@drift3rkid66 he means skin tone
@@jamretro1336 Oh, gotcha! 😄
Lee Ermey said Vincent was the best part of the movie
Some of the stories that Vincent told about Lee Ermey was incredible. He said that Lee who was never an actor really before just came in and stole this role and there was nothing that Stanley could do about it. He was just that talented and funny as hell
Not for me. People don't go nuts the way that Pt. Lawrence did. The final scene in the head looks totally false to me. The man overplayed a lot.
Just an amazing actor.
you said it !
Genius actor in everything I’ve seen him in. Full metal jacket is amazing. The first half especially until his untimely end
In men in black as Edgar the bug, daredevil and Jurassic world
Always will be my favourite actor . Hes done some brilliant performances ❤❤❤
It’s like a mix of Vincent D’Onofrio and Julio Iglesias and I’m not complaining at all 😂👌
LMFAO ROFL hahahaha 100% lol
🇧🇷👋🏾🤝🏽 Thank you for sharing this love Vincent D'onófrio.
This dude put up one of the best performances in the history of cinema. I’m a bit of a buff for good movies. I’ve seen most critically acclaimed movies of all eras (1930s-now) and all genres. I really have. From Saving Private Ryan to Rear window to the Marvel CU to Gone with the wind. And his performance as Pile has stuck with my and has made more of an impact on my world view than any other character I’ve ever seen (other than legacy characters like Batman or Luke Skywalker). I’ll always remember that bathroom scene…
vincent! one of the best actor. still.❤
Great movie and a great actor. I would have liked a longer interview with more discussion about Vietnam, but in the time given to this interview, the discussion was good.
Vincent was my favourite in the movie 🎥🍿🍿🍿
I cried when he died. There was somuch to him. I wished that he had a chance to prove himself in battle.. Vincent was the Best
It's that crazy cop from law & order.
He made people confess even when they are innocent
Great acting by Mr Vincent!!! Much Kudos & snappy salute to you!! 😊👌👌👌👍✊✊
People out here saying he's on coke when they don't realize how hot studio lights are. Especially in the 80s.
Navy boot camp in 1967 was quite the experience for me. My father was a WW2 Navy vet and I had friends who had been in the Navy so I pretty much knew what to expect. The secret was to keep your mouth shut and your eyes and ears open. Also don't make yourself stand out in any way. My mistake was I was pretty squared away so I became one of our companies six squad leaders. But I also saw the effect the rigorous training and discipline could have on those who weren't as prepared for it. It brought out the worst in some. We had an attempted suicide one night while I was standing quarterdeck watch and it wasn't pretty. Other guys would just fold under the pressure and just become babbling idiots. The screw ups paid the price for not pulling their weight and they would fall victim to an assortment of vigilante punishments, usually under the cover of darkness. The platoon leaders and squad leaders would look the other way as you didn't want to interfere in that process. More than a few fence jumpers going over the hill also. The idea was to weed out the weak ones early and it worked. A nasty way to do it but a very necessary one. FMJ is probably the finest movie there will ever be depicting military basic training. Certainly for the Marine Corps. Well done Pvt. Pyle.
You were great in full metal jacket by the way.
Love your magic Vincent
Marines are not Drill Sergeants, they are Drill Instructors.
Yes
drill sergeants, drill instructors...who gives a flying fawk. Do you correct people on spelling too?
@@noellutsey5620
Perhaps someone is just trying to inform others of correct termology.
Learning new things does expand your knowledge.
It's not always to put someone down.
@@equine2020 You're right though. my bad
@@noellutsey5620 Sir, I'm sure he does, sir!
Such a good movie.
Awesome
Greatest actor ever
Underrated.
What are you talking about Dude 🤔
I Grew up right around the Corner to MR D'Onofrios Realtives I seen him w his head shaved in front of his Realtives house I didn't know he was a actor he looked like a Emotional Disturbed Person😂
I thought he had kept the weight because everything I ever saw him in, after that movie, he was a north of 250 Lb, big bruiser of a guy. I remember hearing he was 200 before then blew up to like 270 or 280 and it transformed his body and life. He looks like he was 200 or so in this interview, which is after the movie wrapped.
Was Vincent on quaaludes during this interview?
What makes you say that? Other people here are saying he looks coked out lolol
So young.
Wow, he must've been chilling in south Florida before he did this video
i went thru PI in '72 before being sent to MP school in Texas and then Vietnam...I saw the exact Do you not know your right from your left slapping scene right in front of me and we had a fuck up recruit that had string tied around his dick as the DI lead him across the parade deck. We also had one of our best recruits crack and jump from our third story barracks stairwell landing down to the hard deck. Parris Island was a very brutal place in the Vietnam era. Many of the Parris Island scenes interacting with Lee Ermey are spot on as he was a Marine DI, but all the scenes where Pyle is mentored is complete BS, that never would happen in Marine boot...you are definitely on your own in Marine boot, no other recruit is going to help you, we all hated the fuck ups and non hackers...we were all just trying to survive.
Bs
That’s some bouffant on vinnys head.
Mi actor preferido en la serie intento criminal en la ley y el orden quisiera que la pasaran aquí y por favor en español
3:25
He only did one enlistment, maybe 4 years, got out as a PFC.
3:50
And now he gets it right?
whiskey tango foxtrot over.
4:48
That's ok, he's a civilian.
❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
OMG! Doesn't he look a lot like Adam Baldwin in this interview?! I'd love to see a side by side at this age and time!
He's still Gomer Pyle here.
If you've never seen The Whole Wide World where he plays the author of Conan, opposite Renae Zellweger, you should check it out
🥵🥵 Good looking guy 🥵🥵
He’s from Hialeah?!
“Was it hard to lose the 70 pounds you gained? Yes it was hard.”
No shit it was hard. Stupid question.
How these kids survived the misery, filth, and death of the Vietnam War is still a mystery.
Never seen him with long hair lol
He looks nervous
He seems to answer professionally. The interviewer seemed awkward
The interviewer didn’t do a good job.
Why? I thought the interview went fine. Care to elaborate?
He's from Hialeah, Fl? 🤯🎉🎉
Yeah. He was born in New York City, but he lived in Florida when his parents divorced.
I never knew that.
@@madison831 Well, he moved to Hialeah after his parents divorced. He's from NY city.
He looks just like adam baldwin in the thumbnail.
🤮
He was supposed to look like him in the movie
@@TheCawdfather why?
Was the AC broken? Coke binge?
Just 1980 lol
Studio lights probably
Studio lights at that time that were generating a lot of heat, plus the make-up (they all have mandatory make-up for studio cameras). And it was like that until recently when LED studio lights were introduced and better air conditioning.
Platoon the best war movie
Platoon is great 👍 but FMJ is equally good.
Looks like he came out of a tanning booth?
I think boys in company c is another good movie and more believable cuz it s filmed in mcrd san degio
Drill instructor not Sargent 😮
Would’ve been nice if he lost weight by the end of the film. Hellloooo
That was a bad interview lol
This might be the greatest interview I've ever seen.
How was this a bad interview? Care to explain?
@@theshield3643Vince seemed to be on some heavy stuff. IDK what it is, he’s got that nervous look.
I thought Platoon was way better - Matthew Modine ruined this movie - bad actor and was very unsympathetic
I think Modine just provides a completely different side to what recruits and Marines experience. Joker does a much better job adapting, at least in training, but you can see through Modine's performance that he's basically still a kid. Even with the reconditioning he's gone through, he has still held on to his humanity, and the war and the other Marines clearly disturb him. Did you even watch the end of the movie?
Hamburger hill and platoon were awesome. Full metal jacket still a good movie and a classic
You don't understand Kubrick films. They aren't made like the other, cookie-cutter, assembly-line stuff.
I think Matthew Modine proved that at the end of the day, the regular guy attitude in Marines, never goes away.
The hyper Gung-ho emotionless macho films, when presented film after film, sometimes turns me off because it's not realistic. At the end of the day, especially when we're in the rear with the gear, we're just regular young guys, straight out of high school, trying to make sense of it all.
Joker reminds me of some of my Marine Corps buddies, who were intellectuals, but had the guts to join the Marines
Somebody isn't a fan of Stranger Things.
