One of the best special effects in that movie was just Vincent D’Onofrio acting.
TLJ also got some amazing moments in-between - the way he conveys so much with such a restraint is probably even more impressive than Vincent’s all guns blazing theatrics.
“Sugar water!”
M-m-MORE!

A brand new Edgar suit
and then in the animated series he played Edgar’s brother. Awesome show that deserves more love.
Legend has it he wasn’t even cast for the role. He just showed up on set and was after a drink so the crew ran with it
that’s our Vincent. He once played a villain in a throwaway movie - a drug dealer who did so much coke his nose fell off - and he plays that guy as if he was a Far Cry villain and it is majestic.
The Salton Sea
I recently rewatched it.
such a fun little movie in which Val Kilmer and Vincent D’Onofrio fucking kill it.
This guy’s career is insane.
Capital C Character Actor. He just gets it - the mannerisms, the speech, movement, even the way he looks changes from role to role so drastically.
Early on, he played a mechanic who a young girl thinks is Thor*. He’s got the build and the look to make her mistake seem reasonable. That same year he was Private Pyle in Full Metal Jacket.
*Adventures In Babysitting

Woke up too early, too?

Super iconic character.
