Vincent and wife Carrie welcomed their second son, Luca, into the world on February 14, 2008.
(edit)
Renee Zellweger thanked him in her Oscar acceptance speech when she won 'Best Actress in a Supporting Role' for Cold Mountain (2003).
(edit)
Before breaking through as a stage actor, Vincent was earning money as a bouncer in New York.
(edit)
While starring in Law and Order: CI, Vincent appeared in one The More You Know public service announcement for NBC. His topic was anti-prejudice.
(edit)
"Five Minutes, Mr. Welles", is a short film Vincent D'Onofrio wrote, directed and starred in. He did this independent film because he felt that his portrayal of Welles wasn't that good in an earlier movie. (Ed Woods/Tim Burton Film)
(edit)
Vincent: (On his career choices) It's something that I've been saying for years when people ask me how I pick the things that I do. I pick the things that scare me the most. You have to like the story first. I'm not gonna play a part that doesn't instill some kind of fear in me. If I read a part, and suddenly, I'm thinking halfway through, 'I'm not sure I could get away with this' I think of everything I can think of to keep me from doing it, that's the one I should do.
(edit)
Vincent: I took a route of acting, rather than starmaking, so it cost me a lot financially.
(edit)
Vincent: There's a lot of shame that goes on when you're playing someone who has really lived and has passed. You're struggling with it all the time. I am, anyway. When I played Robert Howard in The Whole Wide World (1996), I was struggling with it. There's this dual thing where you feel real good about being able to play this juicy part, and then there's constant shame. Who am I to pretend to know who this guy was? Who am I to represent this guy for people who never knew him? The pressure is unbelievable, I can't tell you.
(edit)
Vincent: (On his role in Ed Wood (1994)) I never was happy with the job I did in Ed Wood (1994). Even though Tim Burton was, I wasn't. Because it's not what I wanted. First of all, the company, for whatever reason, not Tim, but the company took a very long time to hire me and I was busy doing another project. I eventually only ended up with three weeks to prepare for it and that bothered me. But, you know, I had to be brave and I had to do it the best I could. It was too much of a caricature. I didn't like it. It was too surface of a performance.
(edit)
Vincent: (On being a method actor) The thing is, it's the research that you do that is exhausting. That's what always affects you. When I did The Cell - no matter what you think of that movie, because I have my opinions of it too - it was, you know, I still have nightmares from the research that I did. Not from playing the part, just from the research. There was stuff that I should have never looked at, that I should have never gone anywhere near. As a father, I can't imagine going to that place again. I'm not saying I wouldn't, I'm just saying it was too much.
