I may be in the minority here, but Law & Order Criminal Intent was my favorite of all of the L & O series. Vincent D'Onofrio was so mesmerizing in his role. And the combination of him with Kathryn Erbe was awesome! I wish there could be a reboot!

yeh.. It was big hole of emtyness, for the show, and within it. When Orbach fell ill and was written out. I was a big fan of the orginal, never felt much interest for all the spin-offs except for criminal intent.

One thing about the other Law & Order shows is that they did not have to rely on one specific character to make the show entertaining, whereas with Criminal Intent Vincent D'Onofrio was *literally* the bread and butter of the show. His character and performance are just so mesmerizing and unique.

I cannot believe that he is 64 year old, he looks great and he is very talented.

Vincent is a wonderful character actor.Have enjoyed his work a long time!

This guy is brilliant, watch his interview on being Private "Pyle" In Full Metal Jacket. Massive props to his talent.

As a theater actor, the longest monologue I had to learn was 4 pages long; 4 pages meaning an 8 X 11 page times 4. I can't imagine the workload he had to endure. But he is right...that stressful spot made me better.

This was my favorite show of all the Law and Order shows I loved V's character and i'd love to see him come back.

This experience for the cast of LAW & ORDER: CRIMINAL INTENT of long hours including hardworking reminds me of what Robert Conrad went through on the television series THE WILD WILD WEST. Quite impressive and my hat's off to you Vincent D,Onofrio and everyone else on the project. Super adulation and even more respect.

The work schedule, or should i say, the overwork schedule about which he speaks is exactly what caused Angela Lansbury to step back from Murder She Wrote by the 5/6 seasons. She started to just introduce episodes. She physically had to lighten the daily work schedule because of the toll it was taking on her. And yes the seasons ran with between 22 to 2 4:03 4 episodes. Great shows with great actors were never made by slackers. Kudos to them all for extraordinary television. Its is no surprise these shows are still airing today. Quality counted!!

Angela Lansbury is amazing!!! 12 seasons and Orbach was introduced on her show! the reports that Donofrio was angry and bullying on set?

Hes a phenomenal actor. Love his character on Law & Order as Bobby. I love his antagonist roles as well in other films. Hes incredible. Very under appreciated.

Loved how he used to lean into the perps doing his interrogating with his head...invading their space and making them uncomfortable. Classic. Also ..catch him doing his own 30 min play on Orson Welles. Amazing. (Played Orson briefly in 'Ed Wood')...but his stage play was a revelation.

Great actor!

I learned a lot from this show and from this outstanding actor! Some of their scenes actually answered unanswered questions that I had and once I had the basic knowledge I was able to research it more and grow from it to use in my career

I love this L&O best of all.

D'Onofrio created a modern day Sherlock Holmes with this role.

Vincent D’Onofrio I am sorry that you had to suffer the kind of trauma that you did to make Law & Order: Criminal Intent. That being said, you were the absolute best character of all of the Law & Order shows. Congratulations to you for that. You are an elite actor. I’ve seen you in Full Metal Jacket, Daredevil, and a bunch of other things. You have the ability to play any part very well. I’d just love to shake your hand and say, “Great job!!!”

The only L&O I watched. I liked his characters Columbo like persona. The criminals never realized how brilliant he was until he had them cornered.

I’m watching you right now on Criminal Intent Love….

Great actor

: Dude's a #ProperLegend.

Wow

please tell me you two talked about daredevil and that there are clips coming of this.

He was born to play The Kingpin.

I love him on The Godfather of Harlem

I love u Vincent

They were the whole show too, him and Katherine were. When the original series of Law & Order was getting shopped around to various networks, you couldn't sell an hour long drama, which is why Dick Wolf split the episodes into two parts: the police who investigate crimes and the district attorneys who prosecute the offenders... These are there stories...

I am watching L&O Criminal Intent on reruns. The sexual tension between you and Elizabeth/Nicole was so strong! I was hoping y’all would get together! Good acting! Thank you,

❤

That Guy Look Like A Mix Between Vince Vaughn To Paul Sorvino!

He's a boss. 🔥🔥🔥

10 x a better actor - my god even before L&O he was amazing - nearly a god in my opinion - for him to say he got better - I agree just shows the level of skill and care he puts into his craft.

I love Bobby Goren

Even with all the babe assistant DAs on the original Law & Order, Vincent D'Onofrio's character made Criminal Intent my favorite of the L&O world. Although, some of the story lines got a bit wacko toward the end. I have no idea how Law & Order SVU is the sole survivor. I guess their hitting all the DEI notes.

I miss Goren!!!!!!

Sigh still so handsome

Sounds like how Nathan Fillion felt by season 8 of Castle.

Bobby Goren is one of the greatest police procedural TV characters. Impossible to duplicate, irreplaceable. and synonymous with this spin-off.

He'll always be an evil alien wearing a human skin suit to me. 🤗

Private Pyle amazing tv series love criminal intent

I'm not surprised he got burned out doing that show. Chewing the scenery that furiously must have been exhausting.

I always said him and Tom weiling had the same voice

There are people who work two jobs to make ends meet so spare me if I don’t feel badly for actors having to work hard.

He a good actor. But I did hear that he was not a nice fellow to work with. At least he knows it.

I heard he was offered Tony Soprano but he didn't like the stereotype.

What shows only have 8 episodes per season? (It's ridiculous that I even have to say this but), I am genuinely asking, not being a smartass...I swear reading comments is the hardest thing to do sometimes because people read things in the emotions THEY ARE FEELING IN THAT MOMENT. I can make a comment being 10000% sarcastic and 99% of the world sees the sarcastic but there's always that 1% that jumps in all pissy "how can you even say...." or "wow, if that's how you feel or what you think...." Ok, I get it. Someone pissed in your cheerios this morning. Doesn't mean you need to run to social media and take it out on the world. (How many people are going to reply to my comment JUST because of the aforementioned statement???) I don't have "tv", I have Amazon and Netflix and stream some others on occasion if there's something I really want to watch. Most of the things I watch like L&O CI and SVU and the one Chicago series generally have 22 episodes. I was suckered in the "Alert" which only had 9 episodes but I can't think of any others. I know some shows split the season in half and have fall and spring premiers. My problem is they basically all run from Sept-May...umm WTF am I supposed to watch all summer??? As to this interview....I will rematch the entire series specifically for one actor and D'Onofrio is one of them. He is so genuine that he is able to make someone forget he's "acting". He definitely deserves more credit than he has gotten.

Criminal intent should've ended after Season 5.

Vincent D'Onofrio is my favourite actor and his Law and Order series is my favourite TV show！Even better than NC IS.

I am a huge fan of Vincent, and loved the early seasons of L&OCI ... but the show made a huge left turn to Political Correctness (as did all of the L&O shows) and it lost me. I even remember the scene ... he and the Kathryn Erbe (a flaming leftist liberal in real life) were on the rooftop standing at a shooter perch, and she said some line to the tune of "I can just see him in his Vote Bush t-shirt" ... and it was all downhill from there. I would almost bet that Erbe convinced the show-runner to let her use that line (not in original script).

Liked it best but he is crazy left angry guy.

I couldn't watch this show because his acting was SO over the top. I laughed when he said he was 10x better an actor by the end. Wow.

Boy he’s lost a lot of hair !

I agree with his assessment that his film performances were WAY better than his performances on this show. I felt he kind of overacted on this show. I don't feel like this show was a good vehicle for him. He is an absolutely BRILLIANT actor bu this role just didn't do it for him.

He said the opposite. He was stellar in Law and Order.

Poor thing, go to Afghanistan or any war country with 80lb back pack. Work construction in the heat or cold...poor thing!!

I can't believe it took 16-hour days to make that piece of garbage show. It was definitely the worst Law & Order, and Goren was one of the worst TV characters of all time. D'Onofrio's personality and ridiculous mannerisms made the show unwatchable to me. I have liked him in other roles, but the choices he made were so annoying. It was like he was doing a bad Jeff Goldblum impression. Then, they actually brought in Jeff Goldblum, and that didn't work either. I remember in one episode, Goren was cornered in a prison and 4 crooked guards were going to kill him and his partner. But he was able to talk to each of them and one by one, they dropped their weapons and walked away. That was one of a million absurd moments on the show that caused me to stop watching. To this day when I hear the theme I cringe. And Katherine Erbe had all the personality of a piece of driftwood. Maybe she was toning it down to compensate for the insane overacting that D'Onofrio was doing. I like the episodes with Chris Noth and all the female partners he had were better than Erbe.
