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 behaviour is indicative of the new blacklist that has cropped up in the tv business. Crackpots like this are aloud to terrorize colleagues they disagree with, yet if the situation were reversed an actor would find themselves out of a job.
"Crush your enemies; see them driven before you" BUMP
D'Onofrio's biggest on-screen moment may have been one of his first, as Private Lawrence in Kubrick's classic "Full Metal Jacket." His latrine meltdown into murder/suicide was one of the most intense scenes in Hollywood history. Even co-star R. Lee Ermey expressed privately that D'Onofrio's performance was so real, he feared for his own life. Critics hailed him as a rising superstar. Though he has developed into a fine actor, he has fallen well short of many expectations.
Sounds like private Pyle is "in a world of sh!t."
I think that under provisions of the Patriot Act, this guy can be put down. Put him in the car and take him to the vet already.
Maybe R. Lee Ermey will take a shotgun to Vincent (Private Pyle)? Would be sweet revenge.
But then that's just me.
"...and would attack anyone who disagreed with him,"
Ah, yes. He's a member of the party of tolerance.
Never thought much of his performances on that show. Seldom watch any more than the time it takes to find the remote and switch to History Channel.
Always glad to see that the results of this election are resonating in the "heart and soul of America".
Any word on whether Larry Flynt has rolled across the Canadian border?
Great news! We need to hear more of these losers losing it. It gives me great satisfaction to see these kind of people suffer from President Bush's re-election! YES!
Well, well... that guy was "Private Pyle", eh? Well, now we know what his major malfunction is.
I hear he's going to be the start of a new spin off:
Law and Order: DU; They say he looks good in a tin foil hat
VINCENT, YOUR ASS LOOKS LIKE 250 POUNDS OF CHEWED BUBBLEGUM!!!
Liberalism =Mental Illness
Isn't he the "Edgar Suit" guy from MIB?
