I'm surprised no one has yet mentioned his long running role on Law & Order: Criminal Intent.

Yeah, why are we talking about Full Metal Jacket and Men In Black??? Dude played Frank Goren, the fregging LEAD of a Law & Order Series for over 10 years. Dang people!

If this is for real it's the best choice they've made so far.

Pretty interesting choice. Doesn't have the size but if they write Fisk as the big man behind the scenes/chess master villain I'm down.

@jonesdeini: Vincent can easily put on pounds or lose pounds like shown in law and order, so he should be ok of he sticks to whatever routine he uses

The guy is big enough, he doesn't have to do anything.

Interesting. I'm watching an episode of Law & Order: Criminal Intent with him as a detective while I'm reading this article. He goes from detective to kingpin of crime. It remind me of the time I found out Luke Skywalker was voicing the Joker and I was thinking, man he did go to the dark side didn't he?

Okay, super awesome choice. He's no Michael Clark Duncan, but he is decently physically imposing, to the average non-superhero level, and he'll be way more psychologically imposing than I ever expected Kingpin to be.

I never would have thought of him for the role, but I like it. Great actor, very versatile.

I love Vincent D'Onofrio. I Pretty much everything he did was awesome and he was probably my favorite overall character on all the Law and Order series. He is a very versatile actor and I think he'll do great.
