The Break-Up
Girl Movies March 10th, 2008I think Vincent D’Onofrio is the best actor with the worst roles. You can feel him in crappy movies like The Break-Up yearning for a better role. Like if he brings greatness to this crap someone will offer him another Full Metal Jacket. His IMDB bio calls him “an actor’s actor” aka a great actor with terrible roles.

I agree with your assessment. Mr. D’Onofrio has stated that he prefers character roles and eschews “lead or hero” roles, but, unfortunately, he is living in a time where character actors aren’t as well-written, or revelant to many of the storylines.
I feel that he should create his own character leads a la Robert Howard in THE WHOLE WIDE WORLD that would showcase his superb acting skills and let them shine!

He was a great cockroach in Men in Black.
