November 11, 2004 -- VINCENT D'Onofrio, the star of "Law & Order: Criminal Intent," passed out while shooting the hit TV series yesterday morning — prompting insiders to gossip that the actor is "losing it." "Ever since John Kerry lost the election, [D'Onofrio] has lost his [bleep,]" said our on-set insider.
"He has been getting into fistfights with people, and when he passed out today, we all thought he was faking it. But then he insisted they call 911."
An ambulance raced to the Queens studio, where paramedics found nothing wrong with the gifted actor, who became a star in 1987 with his searing performance as a misfit Marine in "Full Metal Jacket."
Tensions on the "Criminal Intent" set are running high. "No one thinks Vincent will last for much longer," the insider said.
"He is so hard to work with — a total freak. He constantly complains about the scripts and has held up production a lot."
D'Onofrio, a big Kerry supporter, was said to be devastated over President Bush's re-election. "When PAGE SIX [last week] wrote about 'Law & Order' putting up signs forbidding political discussions on set, it was funny," our source said. "Those signs were put up because of [D'Onofrio]."
About a month before the election, D'Onofrio "insisted" on putting up anti-Bush posters and fliers, "and would attack anyone who disagreed with him," the spy added.
In response, "Law & Order" producers posted signs banning political discussions or anything else that would impede work on set, implying that D'Onofrio had held up taping of the show with his political zealotry.
D'Onofrio's co-stars, Kathryn Erbe, Jamey Sheridan and Courtney B. Vance, are said to be fed up with his antics.

too bad if he kills himself soon...
Thats Gomer Pyle on Full Metal Jacket.
I've never watched the show. My only Hollywood heros today are Hank Hill and his wife Peggy.
They reelected the Chimp! aarrgh!
As soon as his "Bleep" is relocated I hope that it is quickly and completely reinserted.
Idiot-moron spoiled rotten self-indulgent "I-don't-care about-anyone-else's-thoughts-on-anything-because-i'm-a-dumbokrat" punk, YOUR'RE FIRED!.....
I really liked the first season of L&O/CI. D'Onofrio was really a force of nature that season. Great stuff. But lately the writing has been really lame and D'Onofrio seems to be phoning it in. Every episode ends with the obligatory scene where everyone stands around slack-jawed while D'Onofrio explains how brilliant he is. Really bad television.
He is ..
in a world ..
of [bleep]
Nix four of those "really"'s, and that post was still lame. Sorry.
"What is your major malfunction, numbnuts?"
*sigh* I love that show too. Maybe Jerry Orbach can go over and replace him.
He was great in Full Metal Jacket... maybe he wasn't acting?
A real life head case?
However, in this case, D'Onofrie may be acting out his real self. To have so little control is pathetic. He is supposed to be on a team and work together to produce this ON-GOING show.
It's not like being an actor requires so much talent. They read a script in front of a camera, big friggin' deal.
If he had a real talent, like being a fabulous tenor, pitcher, math whiz, scientist, computer geek, writer or race car driver, he might have room for some temperament.
But, an actor? In a weekly T.V. show?
Uh, no.
It will be interesting to see how this plays out on the show. He has a familiar Hollywood disease: FOOT-IN-MOUTH disease.
Maybe mommmy and daddy didn't pay him enough attention as a child.
Some of these libs can really act (Deniro, Pacino, etc). But I've given up on Hollywood. I'd rather watch old movies with Jimmy Stewart, John Wayne, Bogart, etc. Back when Hollywood had a streak of patriotism, long since extinguished.
I never cared for the show. A lot of people claimed it was excellent, but I found the D'onofrio character overwrought and over-acted. Now I wonder if the temperamental character was the extension of the actor, who has some of the same traits--but perhaps without the genius factor.
"He is so hard to work with — a total freak."
Sounds like a liberal to me.
I'd say he has a "MAJOR MALFUNCTION"
