A photo of VDO in "The Irishman" from the gallery! Ray Stevenson discusses his character ‘Danny Greene’ in ‘The Irishman’ Monday, July 27, 2009 “The Robin Hood of Collingwood” MovieSet.com Exclusive: From the set of ‘The Irishman‘ in Detroit comes a MovieSet exclusive video featuring actor Ray Stevenson who plays the lead character Danny Greene in this real-life story of a mafia conflict in Cleveland. Amongst clips of the on-set action, Mr. Stevenson discusses the personality of his character saying he was a loner but also very charismatic. He points out that people called Greene “the Robin Hood of Collingwood” as he gave away turkeys at Thanksgiving and Christmas to show that, “It wasn’t about the money, there was a higher goal.” Stevenson points out that, (unlike other gangster movies) “… these people actually have lives so it kinda matters when they die - even though they are on the wrong side of the law.” He discusses Greene’s style including green suits, green pens and the importance of the costumes in the film. Finally Stevenson points out the exceptional script which attracted him to the project and gives credit to the entire crew of The Irishman saying, “this film belongs to everyone from the drivers to the people who made the food.” More from The Irishman There’s more to come from The Irishman including unique interviews from Vincent D’onofrio, Val Kilmer, and Vinnie Jones. If you missed it, check out the Christopher Walken interview in which he talks about playing Shondor Birns plus mini-featurettes about exploding cars and hair and costumes. Finally, don’t miss the gallery of still photos from the set of The Irishman. More Here: blog.movieset.com/2009/07/27/ray-stevenson-discusses-his-character-danny-greene-in-the-irishman/

Thanks, Jeffan. The reelblog also has a link to this interview, where Mr. D'Onofrio looks very relaxed.

Great little interview. Thanks Jeffan. With an ensemble cast of A listers, might this film make it to my local theatre? That would be novel for a VDO film lately.

‘The Irishman’ Blows Up in Detroit, Cleveland and Beyond As cast and crew of ‘The Irishman‘ work through the production cycle, all sorts of audiences are grabbing a hold of this compelling story and creating coverage from many points of view. Some are excited that films are coming to stimulate the Michigan economy, others are ticked off that Ohio didn’t offer tax breaks to the production and missed out. Many come with an interest in the mob and mafia in general while others were “there” during the bomb wars in Cleveland and one man was mentored by Christopher Walken’s character Shondor Birns and expresses his point of view on the scruples of the real-life characters. Then there are the Vincent D’Onofrio fans - legions of rabid enthusiasts with an apparently insatiable appetite for VD’O pics and videos. To help you explore all the facets of this particular Irishman’s story, here’s a clearinghouse to browse through and enjoy. Dave Olson Movieset DailiesAugust 11, 2009.

Thanks Jeffan. 'Then there are the Vincent D’Onofrio fans - legions of rabid enthusiasts with an apparently insatiable appetite for VD’O pics and videos.""Legions of rabid enthusiasts?" Really? That's ridiculous. I've been active on pretty much all of the LOCI/VDO sites for years. I can't imagine more than a few fans at a time congregating to see VDO. Especially in the areas that they are filming. And I doubt that they act "rabid." Anyone know anyone who's gone to the shoots?

Dj, I'd doubt that there are "legions", but certainly very "rabid" fans, even if they're only a few. Just look around the net.
If I recall correctly, Ron Harris said in his interview that on more than one occasion that had troubles with stalkers.

Well, if anyone of these so called "rabid" fans from the net had gone to the shoots, they would have mentioned it online, I'm sure. I haven't heard anything.
There's excited and there's being a loon. I just think that this reporter was exaggerating to make his article more interesting. There were probably a few women who squealed when they saw VDO. Maybe took his photo or used their camcorder. IMO, "rabid" is a very negative, extreme description.
