D'Onofrio's shoes CAN be filled

I've been a fan of Vincent D'Onofrio since his very first appearance on "Law & Order: CI" and my admiration for his acting has not lessened. What I was disappointed in was the emphasis made in later episodes of his "dark side" and his personal trauma. It is, perhaps, a necessary part of an on-going series for us to see below the surface of the character, but I think it went too far and consequently, many viewers lost interest in both the show and the character. Jeff Goldblum is great and, let's face it, ANYONE can be replaced, but does it make it a better show? No! And in the meantime what is Vincent doing?

From the look of him, eating. A lot.

Long winters up there in Canada, eh ?

The guy had a nervous breakdown on the set and then they found him in his dressing eating peanut butter out of his azz.

I never watched the episodes when Vinnie D wasnt in them so I guess I wont be watching the show at all now. If it was Vinnies idea to move on than I hope he does well in the future but if it was USA's idea, there retarted. And for all the people that thought he was annoying on the show.... enjoy Jeff Goldbloom. He is the most annoying guy on the planet!!!!!!!!!!

I don't care how often I see him on L&O or in anything else, he will always be Thor to me!

The writer of this article is pretty empty headed if you ask me!
NO ONE can fill Vincent D'Onofrio's size 13 shoes! The writers screwed up his charactor, but Vincent will always be one of the best actors on this planet. He is amazing the way he can change himself into just about anything. He truly is 'the chamelian'! Besides; that screwy Nichols charactor is nothing compared to Robert Goren. I wish you the best Mr D'Onofrio; but NO ONE can fill YOUR shoes; or Bobby Gorens either!
Goren IS the sex! Give us back our Bobby!

Gotta love him.

He's made three movies and is working on a fourth. Who cares what he looks like. It's his acting I am enthralled with. I guess you need to be in the business to understand. I am sure sex with him skinny or overweight is the same. Either always good or always bad.

Funny you call him Vinny. Only his sister Tony calls him Vinny.
