The fact that everyone in this comment section is recognizing him for so many different roles is a testament to how great and how versatile of an actor Vincent is
I've only seen him in several works. He's a decent actor, certainly - but he's not one of the best out there, as people in the comments are stating. Not sure why people are giving him that much praise
The acting of Vincent D’Onofrio was brilliant in Full Metal Jacket. When you see his face in that scene he is about to kill, you really believe his character turned into a psycho
he is so good that i started thinking that Vincent himself was a psycho lmao like when i first saw it i thought wow this actor must be insane in real life too lol, he is that great.
One of my favorite movies, top 5, and Vincent D’Onofrio is amazing in everything but full metal jacket. It's the only role I think he was poorly cast in though. Which is weird since Kubrick in my opinion almost always cast his actors perfectly. I always thought Vincent overacted. I suspect it's due to bad direction. Kubrick could never see anything but what he wanted to see.
@@silewis9396 I didn’t know him well, he was doing a movie in the Philippines in the late 90’s, and I was a Marine at the US Embassy. Ermey called me after getting my number from a mutual friend. He called me and asked if I and my fellow Marines wanted to go have a beer. So we conducted Marine, young and new get together. He gave the Marines signed photographs at the end of the night. That’s about all I have to say.

For me it's Daniel Day Lewis and John Hurt. But D'Onofrio is right there with them. He is a fabulous actor and complete scene stealer. While the movie was pretty good, his role in The Magnificent Seven was remarkable. He is an extremely versatile actor.
Vincent D'Onofrio has always been one of my favorite actors ever since I saw Full Metal Jacket. He always puts 200% into every part, and he is always able to become the character to the point you forget who he is.

"I'm Spartacus!" Damn! That's one of the best Kubrick stories ever! How the hell can Stanley come back to that? And, just from a gamesmanship point of view, you know Stanley had to admire the move.
Also funny thing is, Stanley hated that whole “I’m Spartacus” scene and thought it was cheesy, but Kirk Douglas and other producers had full control over that movie and did not allow Stanley to cut it.

@@thomasgriffin2326 Stanley Kubrick directed another really famous film that would have been out a long time by the time they were making "Full Metal Jacket" called "Spartacus." At the end of Spartacus, a lot of people who aren't Spartacus stand up and claim to be him in this epic move of solidarity to protect their fellow slave? Gladiator? I honestly haven't seen the movie I just know the reference. So basically Kubrick was accidentally recreating a scene from one of his most famous movies and a clever British extra rose to the occasion and yelled Stanley's own movie quote back at him, prompting everyone else to do the same in a perfect replica of the actual scene from the movie Spartacus.

This man is “bank,” in every character he’s ever acted in. My personal favorite was his serial-killer part in THE CELL. The dream sequences were phenomenal.
Can't believe he didn't even get an Oscar nod for his performance in the film. His standout performance was unforgettable. The first half of the film captured mental breakdown in the making.
No matter what I see him in I think of Pile. That character he played was incredible. The opening scene with Lee and the cast of FMJ is one of the best opening scenes ever!
Fantastic as Pyle! This guy is a real actor, playing all kinds of different roles well, unlike a lot of Hollywood's A-list who are the same character in all their movies.
How can you not like this guy, excellent actor, great story teller and seems like such a awesome guy. I've never seen him not give 100% in every role he has ever done. Still don't think he gets enough recognition....
One of my favorite scenes of all time is in Full Metal Jacket and is one of the most chilling and believable. Then, when he blew his brains out I felt gut-punched. Wow! He is underrated. He is a fantastic actor.
The first time I had seen the movie, I really thought that was the ending. Then when the scene kicked in with Nancy Sinatra singing, it hit me that the movie had only been playing about 40 minutes or so when the bathroom shooting had occurred. It was that intense and had me spellbound watching it unfold.
Yes! I fell in LOVE with him in that movie! Couldn’t believe this was the same guy when I saw him in Full Metal. And loved his sweet character in Mystic Pizza
Dudes one of my all time favorites also. I love his whole career really, but he was the perfect person to play pyle. He made the misery so universally relatable its nuts. Ill never forget that scene as long as I live.
There are actors who just seem to be a step up from the others-its not just the talent-their personality and the ability to transform themselves into an almost unrecognizable person different from each and every other part they may have played in the past is a very exclusive club- this man is a card carrying member of this group of artists-his chemistry with Forest Whiticker is absolutely amazing
This man is a savage. From the bad guy in the Cell, to his role as Goren, men in black, full metal..sheeeit, must be cool to be this good at anything...
One of my favorite actors, so under rated.Also I know he would be so good as lead in a comedy. If they ever decided to remake the flim "Welcome Mr. Chance" ,they should consider him for the lead.
Vincent D’Onofrio...what a find. Guy is absolutely great. Front Full Metal Jacket to MIB to The Cell to The Magnificent Seven and everything in between...such great parts.

D'Onofrio's Goren is good, but my personal favorite TV detective is Frank Pembleton from Homicide, played by Andre Braugher. And, in an interesting bit of trivia, Pembleton helped find D'Onofrio's killer in an episode of Homicide where he plays a guy who gets pushed of a subway platform.
I love Vincent! There is just something about him and his 🎭 acting that draws you in. He is great in everything he has done, including his role in Criminal Intent. He gets right in their face..you gotta love it! He is by far my favorite actor! I watch everything he's in!

@@jeanclaudevantom692 Well, Adventures in Babysitting was released after Full Metal Jacket, but maybe shot before. I don't know. That might be a good question to ask in an interview.
Sorry, but Pvt Pyle came before Thor. Full Metal Jacket principal photography was from August 1985 to August 1986. Adventures in Babysitting started filming in January 1987.
Saw him in Manhattan many years ago. Had no idea he was that big. 6’3 easy. But incredibly nice. For the roles he’s mastered he should be celebrated a lot more than he is.
I wonder why......? Tracey Ullman was also amazing in Household Saints along with the entire cast, who were all along with the crew, a sincere pleasure to work with in 92'
People might not realize but he was pretty fucking jacked before FMJ. You can see him in Adventures in Babysitting as Thor, which was shot just before this and he looked like an NFL tight end.
Vincent is one of my absolute favorite actors, he doesn't get nearly enough credit for his abilities, he's one of the best there is
one of my favorites too, he should have got an academy award for men in black
well now he does in man in black and daredevil

Sorry, but Pvt Pyle came before Thor. Full Metal Jacket principal photography was from August 1985 to August 1986. Adventures in Babysitting started filming in January 1987.
Saw him in Manhattan many years ago. Had no idea he was that big. 6’3 easy. But incredibly nice. For the roles he’s mastered he should be celebrated a lot more than he is.
Brilliant actor, we adore you Vince, I'm glad he's being recognised at last for his amazing abilities! UK fans forever 💙 UK 🇬🇧
D’Onofrio is amazing. Great actor and he seems like a real likable fella.
I'd definitely hang out with him and a nice big bowl of hash...uh, corned beef, that is 😉!
haha, I saw that "I'm Spartacus" line coming as soon as Kubrik demanded to know for the second time... lol, awesome story!
Ourt of all of Vincents amazing performances, him playing Edgar in MiB stands out as one of my most appreciated ones.
"I'm Spartacus", best effing story every told....
Strangest character he played was the bug guy in Men in Black. 😀😃😄😁
Sugar. More sugar
I was wondering if you could help me. Im looking for a cat. Belonged to a friend o' mine
@@Gaybraham.Lincoln a man came in here earlier....a dead man 😄
"Give me...............sugar."
@@Gaybraham.Lincoln a pet cat who means worlds to me, and I'd like to have it back
I love every single movie Vincent has done, such a wonderful talented actor, I love Law and Order Criminal Intent, ❤️
Adventures in babysitting to
I love love love Vincent D’Onofrio as an actor amazing in anything.
I loved Vincent in Household Saints. No one ever mentions his amazing performance or even that movie.
I wonder why......? Tracey Ullman was also amazing in Household Saints along with the entire cast, who were all along with the crew, a sincere pleasure to work with in 92'
People might not realize but he was pretty fucking jacked before FMJ. You can see him in Adventures in Babysitting as Thor, which was shot just before this and he looked like an NFL tight end.
