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.

So let me get this straight...The tension and stress of playing make believe for a huge paycheck is getting to him. For God's sake man. You play house for a living. Quite acting like the world ends when you don't get your way.
Vincent, I truly enjoy the Criminal Intent show and I have always thought that you were an excellent actor (we'll forgive you for The Cell). But you should understand that political winds change - it's not the end of the world. You have a high-paying, relatively easy job to entertain us. Get to work.
I still say that it doesn't take talent to be an actor, acting is just being yourself.
I'm with you.

So, "gifted" actually means "nutcase" in Hollywood lingo - or did I get them reversed?
That was after they removed his head from a very dark, stinky place on his body.
My Husband thought that the Serena Sutherland charaacter on L&O was hot. Her character is sooooooo liberal. By the end of last night's pro-gay marriage show, with her being the main advocate, he kept saying, "Man! She's just ugly. I can't STAND looking at her! I hope they replace her soon!"
Vincent is a fag. He thought Kerry would win and homosexual marriage would become the norm. He is a typical Hollywood low-life.
When my wife watches L&O, I leave the room.
I agree..I wait for that show every week. He does a terrific job on it. I hate to hear this...
Is it just me or is there something wrong with that statement?
Gosh, I'm glad you said that; I thought it was just me.

There were no latrines in Full Metal Jacket. Heads, yes. Latrines, no.
Anyone who can be described as "the gifted actor" has to be Democrat. Why? Because neither actors nor Democrats know much about reality.
Just because I'm a functioning phsychopath, everybodies gotta pick on ME.
