Colen: > The really high point of his - Vincent D'Onofrio - career was his 1993 > performance in an episode of Homicide: Life on the Street - Season 6, > Episode 7 - called Subway. Certainly *a* high point. It stood out even against the background of Homicide's remarkably high overall quality (although folk familiar with the Bal'mer MTA might observe that the trains don't have quite the same sort of gaps a person might fall into -- I heard that the story was adapted from an incident which occurred in NYC). But D'Onofrio hasn't been sleeping since then. Just recently, on his current gig with Law & Order: Criminal Intent, there was a stunning example of his craft: his character was interviewing someone he had history with and cared for, but he knew he had to get a confession from her -- with each revelation of either a childhood experience which had ultimately twisted her, or of a fact which would cement her conviction, the emotions playing on his face in the reaction shots were appropriate, perfectly of the moment, and apparently deeply felt... I just don't know how it's even possible to do what he did.
