VDO in "Steal This Movie"

[roots2rock]

Taken from re: VDO in other roles post (now with movie title included) r2r

How many of you have seen Vincent D'Onofrio in the movie--title escapes me right now--where he played 1960's radical yippie leader, Abbie Hoffman? I saw it on a premium cable channel this past Spring. Alas, it was a promotional deal from the company that I passed on later. He was simply amazing!! I have been pleased to see him in many different movie roles, some better than others, e.g., ("Feeling Minnesota"). But this one is a must see! You can even detect his future Goren persona coming through in this charismatic portrayal of Hoffman. He has the long hippie hair and is just great as the lead character. I believe the movie was first shown in 2000. Comments anyone?

He's excellent in this film. I have some qualms about the film's view of Mr. Hoffman, who advocated more violent means of revolution than the film would have you believe. But the performances are great.

There's a wonderful interview (well, wonderful to watch, not necessarily informative) on the DVD extras where Mr. D'Onofrio is very deep into the characterization of the depressed Mr. Hoffman. He's also smoking like a chimney.

Just so you know, roots2rock, there is a thread for "Steal This Movie" already on this Sub Board, on page two.

Actually, if you check, there is probably a thread for every single movie that VDO has ever been in here. This wonderful site has been in existence for several years, and at some point a poster has wanted to discuss a film.

Just trying to help.

Thanks very much ladies, for the help. As you can see I'm still classified as a "rookie". This really is a great site for LOCI aficionados!!!
