Vincent Philip D'Onofrio (born June 30, 1959) is an American actor, producer, and singer.
He is known for his roles as Private Leonard Lawrence ("Gomer Pyle") in Stanley Kubrick's war film Full Metal Jacket (1987), Wilson Fisk in the Netflix series Daredevil, Det. Robert Goren in Law & Order: Criminal Intent, Edgar/the Bug in Men in Black (1997), and Vic Hoskins in Jurassic World (2015). Among other honors, D'Onofrio is a Saturn Award winner and an Emmy Award nominee.
D'Onofrio was born in the Bensonhurst neighborhood of Brooklyn, New York City. He is of Italian descent, with ancestors from Sicily. His parents, Gennaro (Gene) D'Onofrio, an interior designer and theater production assistant, and Phyllis, a server and restaurant manager, met while Gene was stationed in Hawaii with the U.S. Air Force. In 1956, they had their first child, Antoinette. She was followed by Elizabeth (1957), now an actress and drama coach residing in Fort Myers Beach, Florida, then by Vincent. He was raised in Hawaii and Colorado in his younger years.
D'Onofrio's parents divorced when he was young; his mother later married George Meyer. Thus, D'Onofrio became step-brother to Meyer's children from a previous marriage (Meyer's son, Guy, and daughter, Connie). The family moved to the Hialeah, Florida, area. D'Onofrio, a shy boy who spent "a lot of time in my room, staying in my head," later became interested in magic and sleight of hand, tricks he learned from Cuban entertainers who owned a small magic shop. In his teens, he worked backstage, in set-building and sound production, at a number of community theaters run by his father. He graduated from Hialeah-Miami Lakes Senior High School.
