Date of Birth : Jun 30th 1959

American actor and film producer. He first gained attention for his role as “Private Leonard ‘Gomer Pyle’ Lawrence” in Full Metal Jacket, and more currently for his role as Det. Robert Goren in Law & Order: Criminal Intent. In 1984, D’Onofrio became a full member of the American Stanislavsky Theatre, appearing in a number of its productions, including Of Mice and Men and Sexual Perversity in Chicago. He also made his Broadway debut as Nick Rizzoli in Open Admissions. Before this breakthrough, he had been acting in New York University student films and was working as a bouncer at the Hard Rock Cafe.

In 1987, D’Onofrio entered the mainstream consciousness with two film roles that demonstrated his range as an actor. His first major film role was as the obese Private Leonard “Gomer Pyle” Lawrence in Stanley Kubrick’s 1987 film, Full Metal Jacket, a part for which he gained nearly 70 lbs, bringing his weight to 280 lbs. The other role was that of Dawson, the owner of Dawson’s Garage in Adventures in Babysitting, directed by Chris Columbus. D’Onofrio appears in only one pivotal scene near the end of the film, but his role attracted attention because of his muscular physique and long blond hair, which cause the film’s youngest character to mistakenly believe that he is actually Thor, the comic-book superhero she idolizes.

Since then, D’Onofrio has continued to play a wide variety of roles, including iconic director Orson Welles in Tim Burton’s Ed Wood, farmer Edgar and the evil “Bug” that possesses him from Men in Black, the father of a saint in Nancy Savoca’s Household Saints, Yippie founder Abbie Hoffman in Steal This Movie, a time traveler from the distant future in Happy Accidents, and opposite Jennifer Lopez as fictional serial killer Carl Stargher in The Cell.
