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.

Must've been a superficial exam.
I hate to read that, that is a really good show.
A "gifted actor" with a screw loose.
A self-centered elitist--who else but Kerry?
Sounds like he's doing drugs.
"A "gifted actor" with a screw loose."
All gifted people have a screw loose. IMHO
He always struck me as more than a little creepy, though... the few times I watched the show, I kept expecting the perp to turn out to be him.
Hah-ha! I gave up on all the "Law & Order" shows once I realised the liberal propaganda they spew.
"and when he passed out today, we all thought he was faking it"
No really good temper tantrum is complete until you've held your breath until you pass out.
Ask any 3 year old.
D'Onofrio will always be fat crazy Private Pyle to me (or maybe the bug guy in "Men in Black")
He sucks as a know-it-all cop.
this is one of my favorite shows. bums me out to find out he's such a kool-aid drinker.
I know exactly what you mean, I used to love all the L&O shows, but in the past year, they are hard to stomach. Last night's pro-gay-marriage was the final straw for me. Why must everything be "ripped from the headlines" and twisted into outrageous propaganda from the left?
It would explain why he was/is supporting Kerry.
And it sure explains his erratic behavior. Drug test?
Life imitates art?
"He has been getting into fistfights with people"
A grown man getting in fistfights? That's ridiculous.

Hey, maybe he was the writer of the "I want to fight a Republican" message that was discussed on a recent thread.
