I had no idea this was the same guy!
Rustedgear93
Was he really the meat suit in MIB? I wouldve never figured that out. Neat.

Remember that time he got cut in half by a subway train on Homicide?
TheSongofTime
He’ll always be Detective Robert Goren to me ❤️ https://i.gifer.com/8lVt.gif

This is ranch.

His role in the Cell is amongst the best!

You completely missed Law& Order Criminal Intent

It's like something was wearing Edgar like a suit. An Edgar suit.

His Kingpin was so fucking good. My first thought was "he's doing a good job hiding his speech impediment." His acting immersed me in his-

character's world, to the point where I only saw the character and not an actor playing a character. That's a rare thing.
mungtongue
Also my fav of the Law and Orders
SansAandAnguS
Yes, he was really good in that!
WeAreNotSmilesTImes
Yes! Goren and Eames are the dream team!

TIL he was Edger in MIB…
EwanMeade
Maybe so but this is range too.

I thought that was a fucked up gamecube before I enlarged the pic

Serious question, anyone have experience with ZLine? They look nice but I wonder if they are like Chinese clones of luxury products?
GoodBuddySpubs
Agreed. This is range also.
LesTownes
Home, Home on the Range, where the deer and D'Onofrio play.

No, that’s Vincent D'Onofrio
iamdanman
He is Fisk. Change my mind
AvsFreak
His most iconic role:
lucidbarrier
Holy crap, I didn't know that was him!
jacblake
He was ultra-creepy in The Cell.
Targe0
I mean it was the Cell, the whole thing as ultra creepy.
Hashbrown123
That was only six months after he filmed FMJ.
Lampmonster
Man, guy can really grow some hair. That's impressive.
somnif
a role for which Kubrick made him gain like 70 pounds to be appropriately chubby.
Hashbrown123
I believe he still has the record for most weight gained for a role.

Fuck yes. One of my favs. Watched it a few days ago. Haven't seen it since I was a kid.

The Cell. "since I was a kid"

Well yeah, it came out in 2000. I was 13 at the time...

The Cell, massively underrated.

Rnage is ability to play

It’s Sirius black

No. That would be "perfect range". There are many levels of range.

Range is him playing Pvt. Pyle and Thor in the same year.
Botticelliii
+1 For Adventures in Babysitting reference.
brainkandle1
For the longest time I swore it was Billy Bob who cameo'ed as Thor - in my head it was..I was of course wrong
blinkonceforyes
Billy bob about 6 inches shorter
tcdriver
Jack sparrow..willy wonka..mad hatter..hunter Thompson..Edward sissorhands=way more range
Hashbrown123
Most of those are just basic eccentric characters.
Vinas0116
Do we really need to compare, can't we just recognize he is good. There are better actors? Maybe, yes, does that make him bad? NO!
GravyEducation
I'll give you Jack and Hunter, but D'Onofrio puts in a riveting performance every time and Depp can sometimes fall flat. But more examples 1

In your favor, Ed Wood and Sweeney Todd

I'll be honest, I barely remembered that Val Kilmer was in it, but I seem to recall liking the film.

jebstat59365
I love how Vincent D'Onofrio and Chris Pratt were both in Jurassic World and The Magnificent Seven playing such wildly different characters.
GravyEducation
I forgot he was in that! Honestly I thought the Magnificent 7 reboot was better, but I never put the OG very high on my list of Westerns
Carlillo
Really nailed that punchable face role in Jurassic World. /compliment
IHaveAGuyForEverything
I need to rewatch Magnificent Seven. Forgot they were both in it.

wonksbonks
And, yes, of course.... You should just watch the Seven Samurai 1954 to get the BEST version of the story.
JaxJamesTheTenaciousTurtle
Pfft, no. You HAVE to read the 300 B.C. clay tablet poem it is based on to get the BEST authentic experience of the story. /s
TheCobb1
Or you could just let people enjoy things…
ArgonSpark
I always like when a huge movie is being filmed and cast members break off to do smaller films. Happens a lot in the MCU.
ErniesWidow
Ted "It puts the lotion on it's skin" Levine is up there, too
Nofoxlefttogive
Plus the Alienist, he was great in that.
HeyOP
I enjoy his performances quite a bit, but I wouldn't say he's the epitome of range.
distractedFreek
Maybe the epitome of rage.
GravyEducation
Not just rage... he can do menace better than anyone
thatnameisalreadytaken
How about when he suspends himself from a load of back piercings and jerks off onto a corpse in The Cell?
HankMardukus
I would say he has like 20 different ways to play menace. It's not Christopher Lee range but it's close
JimmyWalkerTexasRanger
He is a fantastic character actor. His range is just his roles. So:
ScarletEmerald
Indeed
HeyOP
He's great. If he's in it and I have opportunity I watch it. His range is his range though. He may have more range than is demonstrated.
JimmyWalkerTexasRanger
He hit me with his character in The Cell. Been following since. Have not been disappointed.
noOpeeee
That movie was so beautiful.
Bendmydickcuminhersnatch
His role as KingPin is very believable
r3dl8dy
The best thing about him is that he is so good, he disappears into the roles. Thor from Adventures in Babysitting. The psycho in The Cell et
rbudrick
Not everyone is gary o, but damn, dude has at least top 30 from oldman range. Kingpin still gives me shivers. Talked abt that 2 days ago.
minqapoc
I loooooove his kingpin. So amazing.
Sirtopumhat
But did you know the actor named D’Onofrio has been played by Gary Oldmans the whole time. It's Oldmans all the way down.
NPSM365
He's no Gary Oldman.
HawkmanXLII
Yes he is. We all are. Gary Oldman is everyone.

Ooh, i loved his sleazy role in the second Maze Runner movie. It was short lived, but he owned that slimy character like nobody else could
thedudeman519
Oh snap forgot there was a sequel, first one was a pleasant surprise .
ItsNotWiseToUpsetAWookiee
I enjoyed all the movies. (Never read the books though). Things change a lot after the first movie, but overall it's good.

Or is he? That’s how good an actor D’Onofrio is.
Hobbsrox
NooPogodi
That's how good shaggy is...
peenesspingpongpaddle
I don't think anyone suggesting that he is the epitome, just that he has range as compared to Keanu Reeves for example
boostcreep
Clearly someone hasn’t seen A Walk in the Clouds.
sturmhauke
We all like Ted "Theodore" Logan, but that's not really a fair comparison. If anything, Keanu is the epitome of typecasting.
Pauly79
Agreed. OP didn’t use the word epitome.
HeavenlySkies
Is it crack that you smoke?
HillOfBeans
Interestingly, he and Keanu played brothers in a low-budget but pretty good movie called Feeling Minnesota. Also in Thumbsuckers together.
Gongzo
Well done on the reference. He is the best. Also great in Happy Accidents.
thedudeman519
Thats the name I knew it wasn't just a Soundgarden lyric
peenesspingpongpaddle
To date myself, I saw it in the theater. Keanu is an entertaining actor but always plays slightly different versions of the same character.
HillOfBeans
I kind of agree. I think the difference is, he doesn’t physically “disappear” into his characters the way Donofrio or Oldman can. But 1/-
HillOfBeans
he’s played jocks, macho cops, doofuses, assassins and Neo, doctors- all whom would seem very different if his own look weren’t so striking
rufisium
Just said this is range. No epitome listed.
HeyOP
"This is range" reasonably read as "this defines range" which is reasonably reworded as "this is the epitome of range." Words. Funny, huh?
rufisium
Words are indeed funny. This reminds me of a literature teacher trying to find hidden meaning in stories.
Badprenup
Except it can be just as easily and more accurately read as "This is a good example of range"
HeyOP

GravyEducation
Epitome would be hyperbole. I'd just say the dude has chops. And he is to Fisk what Ledger was to Joker
kungfoot
Have to disagree… in fact not even a close comparison in any way, shape, or form to Ledger and the Joker.
wlfman
I happen to agree with you...but also didn't care for Ledger as the Joker - :shrug:
GravyEducation
Why? Did you think he was miscast? Or do you think Heath knocked it out of the park? I will accept your answer in the form of an essay ;)
ThisGuyPostingThings
I would disagree with the comparison. Ledger embodied a new version, whereas D'Onofrio seemed to distill the comic character into being.
anhope
Except Ledger wasn't doing anything new. He was doing Tom Waits from 1979. https://youtu.be/1m5z3vxTd7U
ThisGuyPostingThings
By "new version", I meant that Ledger's Joker was a new version of that character, whereas D'Onofrio seemed to be trying for comic Kingpin.
GravyEducation
I think the distinct rage D'Onofrio brought to it was inspired, but you're right that the cold calculation was always there. Have an updoot
thedudeman519
Yea the only reason he wasn't the perfect Fisk is because there is nobody that can physically play him.
NarratesTheDarkerStory
Yeah, too bad in real life you can't get that big without being moved by a motorized scooter. I know Kingpin is all muscle, but can't ¹
NarratesTheDarkerStory
really portray him accurately and try to maintain realism. Basically, can't have an RL kingpin comparable to SM: Into the Spider-Verse
