I noticed in last nights LOCI ep. 'In the Wee Small Hours' that VDO seemed to be on the chunky side. Is he bulking up for a non LOCI role? Or perhaps he has stopped smoking...which I didn't think he did in real life.
Anyone know or noticed?

I didn't notice any real weight gain, but I did notice his skin seems to look better. In an interview Mr. D'Onofrio gave in Australia, he said he had quit smoking. Hope he has been sucessful, it often takes many attempts.

First, I think this man's weight fluctuates more than a bear getting ready for hibernation.
But he has stopped smoking and he also bulked up to play Orson Welles. But I've noticed that his shirt collars have been a bit looser in the last couple of episodes (didn't notice it last night, but the show held my interest completely), so I think he might be in the process of dropping a few pounds.

I wondered about VDO's weight as I watched last night's episode. He did seem a little heavier to me. Maybe his' bulking up again for another role. However, sometime back, he did say that he wouldn't gain a bunch of weight again because as he's gotten older, it has gotten harder to lose the weight. Don't I know about that!!!

Yes, V has bulked up - as if he never lost the Orsen weight, plus the quitting smoking is good for 20-30 lbs. Remembe something, this 2 hr thingy was shot closer to summer. It was something they worked on early together. He was at his top chunky weight. I believe you will see when the epi's start up again, his weight should lessen again - IF HE IS TRYING TO LOSE IT. Personally, I hope he does. He has such a great porportioned bod, which is not in the need of the extra weight. But I understand, that loosing weight and stopping smoking is tough when you are in the late 40's. It is tougher all the way around. But they have trainers, so if he really wants it off, it would be gone.

I really noticed it in his face. Not to mention watching the older episodes he was a lot thinner. But hey good for him if he stopped smoking! As I said I didn't think he did, after watching his reation to smoking during S1 ep. Badge. Thanks for the imput!

I don't think he's gaining weight. He said in an interview that by season 5 Goren "should be looking normal again". The Welles film is complete, and it was shot last year and this CI movie was shot a few weeks ago. (I think.) I thought Vincent said on the Today Show (9/30/05) that they were filming it *then*. Compare this show to "The Unblinking Eye" and later season 4 shows, and he definitetly appears to weigh less in season 5. I agree Vincent's weight fluctuates (that was cute Patcat!) a lot but I think it has to do with his hair cuts and his clothes. He has cut his hair short on top now and has a wide forehead which he no longer covers with bangs, both of which makes his cheeks look chubby. He has chubby cheeks whether he is thin or heavy, LOL, but his hair styling makes his cheeks look even chubbier. ;D His weight shows in his jaws, cheeks and his hands. He could use make-up to draw attention to his eyes and lips to lessen the appearance of the chubby cheeks. He doesn't have strong cheekbones, which adds to the chubby cheeks. I love the chubby cheeks inspite of everything! I also think his collars are way too tight, as are his shirts across the chest and shoulders. His jackets are are also too tight across his shoulders and upper back. His pants also do not look like they fit right. Too long, and too baggy in the hips. I want to take the man shopping! Or at least find him a good tailor! LOL! For those who must think I'm a total weirdo for noticing all of this stuff, LOL, I have a logical expaination! I used to do hair, make-up and styling when I was much younger for local models, dances, proms and other stuff. ;D

No NicoleM, you are not a wierdo for noticing. If you are, so are thousands of other females including me. I like to watch Vincent. I like the way he looks - all of him. He has such an unusual good looks - chubby cheeks and all. He is so much more interesting then pretty boy perfect features. I agree with you his big eyes and pouting mouth are great features, but I do not think they bother doing that with men. Women are always accenting something - duh! One of the things I hate this season is the butch hair cut - what is that? He has great hair why can't they keep the scissors away from it - damn. They just cannot leave it alone. But I still believe he is battling extra pounds, but maybe he doesn't care. Ultimately it does not bother me, I just have preferences

I also agree with you barb and amberlight. He looks good. Did the Wells movie come out yet or did I miss it? I just started watching Criminal Intent and the reason why I like it so much is because of Vincent. I could watch it all day- well,sometimes I do.

hi barb, I live in the US in Laporte, Indiana. I watch CI mostly every night it is on (re-runs) on the USA channel along with SVU and on Sunday nights I watch it on Channel 5 at 8:00pm but the re-runs are on the Bravo channel from 4:00pm to midnight so I watch Bravo until 8 and then I watch the new one and then switch back. I got interested in CI last September -it was quite by accident- I had back surgery in September and I had trouble sleeping for a long time and one night I started watching CI and I fell in love- about a month ago they had a CI marathon that lasted the whole weekend- I was in heaven. I think its amazing that he seems to know something about everything- even a persons mannerisms and habits he picks up on. I have never seen any interviews with him- do you know of any he has done and how i can find out about them? And you are so right about his eyes- I could stare at him all day. thanks

Amberlight,
Yes!! What is up with the butch hair cut? I like his hair better when he has bangs. I think it's much more flattering to the shape of his face.
I was always amused by Goren's different colored hair on CI- one scene it's black, next its gray, next it's salt and pepper, then back to black, etc... hehe!
Now, if they would only do something about Eames' hair!

Nichole - I wonder if make-up ever watches the dailies!!!! Cheese and crackers - sometimes even the suites get mixed up. Judicious editing - well duh not always. Make-up take a photo of the week so his hair matches from day to day? Instead of, a coat of many colors, just exchange the first noun for "head"
It does not change anything for me, but I am prone to notice these minor discrepancies and then it bugs me to no end.
Another one that I have noticed - eek anal - The wardrobe (shirts, ties, etc) are circulated between actors!!! I have seen the same shirt on 4 different actors already.
