Vincent D'Onofrio has acted in a wide assortment of films in his
20+ years in the film industry, from almost unknown independent dramas like
GUY to large-budget science-fiction blockbusters like MEN IN BLACK, and everything
in-between. As a seasoned character actor, he has an almost infinite number
of personas to his repetoire, including average-joe fishermen, tango-dancing
hitmen, shell-shocked military recruits, alien uber-cockroaches, psychopathic
serial killers, and crazed meth-addicts. In lesser-known biopics, he has also
recreated the personalities of the pulp fiction author Robert E. Howard in
THE WHOLE WIDE WORLD, the 1960's radical yippie Abbie Hoffman in STEAL THIS
MOVIE, and the renowned actor-director Orson Welles in the feature film ED
WOOD and in short film 5 MINUTES, MR. WELLES.
As part of its mission to discuss and analyze the films of Vincent D'Onofrio, the D'Onofrio RoundTable will offer film synopses and background information along with reviews and critical essays from both our members and third-party sources. When possible, links to external sites and resources will be provided.
