There's an interview with Warren Leight, LOCI Executive Producer, at http://gothamist.com/archives/2005/09/23/w...writer.php#more

Interesting article, Pat. Thanks for posting it.

I am curious about this for reasons that pass understanding. Mostly I suppose because I would love to see these two happy on the show for more than the next two seasons.

I read an article in which Kate Erbe expressed how annoyed she gets with VDO's perfectionism.

Do you think these two actors get along? In the same article he expressed that he didn't know how she did it with two kids which seemed gracious.

I have only read the one article. Anyone with more depth on these actors have any thoughts?

I have read many interviews by and about VDO. He almost always recognizes Erbe and her contribution to him and the show. Others including her have mentioned his perfectionism and his propensity to offer direction as well. This doesn't mean they don't get along. It definitely means VDO has a strong personality. Who's surprised? An old night show interview I saw recently he mentioned that the cast and crew are excellent but also trustworthy. What happens on the set stays on the set. I think that's admirable in this age of unending, repetitive pablum about celebrities. Everyone doesn't deserve to know everything. Public figure shouldn't mean no privacy.

Exactly and thats why I give them props for being able to keep their private lives private. It takes a bigger person to stay out of the limelight and drama of fame. The actors on this show really have class.

Good thoughts, Monique. I especially appreciate your comments that a public life doesn't presume that there is no right to privacy. I just read an interesting article that talks about how the frenzy over celebrity lives has really hit a peak, and that magazines are more openly using lies to attract readers.

It is nice to hear that his comments have been consistently positive in relation to his working environment. I am also glad that KE's comments are not completely out of the blue. It sounds like his tendencies toward perfectionism and control are openly understood and talked about.

Thanks again,

sheila

Psychochik and Hazelmom, Thanks for your thoughts. H, I read an article after VDO's fainting spells that Erbe expressed admiration for his taking care of himself, cutting hours, and letting go of some of the perfectionism. P, I agree about the worth about being a professional as an actor versus celebrity. When I first read about VDO, I was struck by his repeatedly saying he was about the acting not about the fame or money; that he stays out of the Hollywood scene and only appears if asked to promote his work; that his work isn't as hard as digging ditches; and that he doesn't "deserve" acclaim as an actor. These views sound so startling in their integrity.

ICAM- it seems as if the cast have good views on each other-- and the working environment seems like it is good-- I beleive that both VDO and Erbe make nice comments about each other- and i feel that VDO was very gracious and sweet in his comments about C. Noth joining the CI team--- i think he likes it a lot that he can take care of himself and STILL get to do CI on a regular basis-- i KNOW i am glad it all worked out!!-- can't wait for the olympics to be over- and CI to start again!!!

I thought it might be a good idea to have a thread specifically for us to post links or other information about anything CI related. I know there have been so many times I've gone looking through tons of threads trying to find some youtube link or something that someone posted. I'll start out with a few of those I went back to find...

This link thanks to Chocaholic...it has the weekly schedule of all L&O shows on all US channels. (Sometimes I can't get it to work though, so hopefully it will be okay.)

And this one is thanks to me! It's a clip of VDO on The View...it's kind of a shame he doesn't do more interviews because he is super cute in them. (Watch out for weak knees syndrome when he tells Joy Behar that she looks fine in the beginning...gulp!! )

I can't get the link to work anymore so I think it's been disabled.

I can't get locifanz's link to work in the above post but for some reason it does work here:
http://www.satanjewels.com/vincentci.html

Here's a link to a LOCI episodes guide:
http://www.epguides.com/LawandOrderCriminalIntent/

bg, may I suggest checking the second link. I'm thinking the code might be set up wrong and that's why it's not a clickable link. Just a thought.....

No goodie thread would be complete without this link.

http://www.thereelvincentdonofrio.com/

Okay, I think it works now. That's weird because it was working on my computer last night. Anyway, who knows.

Does anyone know if there is any other site that has a weekly schedule list like that first link that apparently doesn't work anymore? That was a great list to reference, too bad it's disabled.

I know of a couple one-show links...but nothing w/all three LAOs.

the whole site in general has gone down!

I used to check it once a week but it doesn't seem to work anymore at all!

Here's the link to Eliza from the UK's website/blog:

And here's the link to VDO's monthly TV schedule (not always complete):

Thanks, Choc, those are great!

I thought I might add this link, some posters have noticed the time differences of entries from other countries, Australia, England etc.

http://www.timeanddate.com/worldclock/

Roughly, Sydney, Australia is about 16 hours ahead of New York time., Sydney is also on daylight saving time. London, England is 5 hours ahead of New York time.

If you bookmark/favourite the worldclock just remember to refresh the page to get an accurate time.

I hope this clears up any confusion, Enjoy.

On youtube, there is the CI set tour. i think you can look up law and order ciminal intent set tour.

^yep its there! its off of the season 3 dvd.

Thanks bgcali. That link will come in handy.

You're welcome yf! I had to find it so I could tell my mom all the movies to tape for me (she can afford HBO and whatnot, I can't)!!

I posted that link on this thread on February 27:


But I agree, it's a good one for easy reference.

Oh, I'm such a dork. I didn't even realize you posted that here, Choc! Well thanks for adding that even though I totally missed it!!

how do you guys get multiple quotes from different posts into your replies?

Just go to whatever posts you want to put in your reply and hit the "quote" button. It turns red. Hit that button on all the ones you want to add, and then go to the bottom of the page and hit "add reply."

Or if for some reason that doesn't work (like in my case, stupid tech!), just copy and paste the quote then put it in a quote bubble. Write in the quote code, or highlight the quote and hit the quote button. Either way, it's really simple, even though my explaining makes it seem confusing.

Here's an example-

thanks. That was easy enough.
BTW- my new VDO avatar looks familiar, did someone already use this one?

Ummmm......I don't know but it's freaking HOT!!! OMG

Here's a good chuckle for ya, ladies...

From the new National Enquirer for March 19, 2007

"Law & Order" star on ANTIPSYCHOTIC MEDICATION

Law & Order: Crminal Intent star Vincent D'Onofrio has been prescibed a powerful antipsychotic medication that is often used to treat schizophrenia, The Enquirer has learned.

What's more, the troubled 47-year-old actor has grown so bored of his character that insiders believe that he is ready to quit the show.

A friend disclosed that during the past year D'Onofrio had been prescribed the drug Seroquel, which is often used to battle mental illnesses.

'He hasn't made it a secret that he's bored with his role and wants to leave.'

"Hopefully the dru has helped Vincent relax, because he's been under quite a bit of stress for a long time," disclosed the friend.

As the Enquirer previously reported, the intense performer's career on the show has been marred by confrontational behavior.

"Vincent is a brilliant actor, but he makes it tough on himself-he puts himself under incredible pressure," disclosed a source.

"he hasn't made it a secret that he's bored with his role and wants to leave."

His friend says Vincent, who plays Detective Bobby Goen, is also embroiled in family issues off-screen, including a recently healed rift with his 73-year-old father Gene.

LOS Angeles-based psychiatrist Nathan Kuemmerie, who has not treated D'Onofrio, doesn't know for sure why D'Onofrio would be prescibed the drug, but says: "I have prescribed (Seroguel) to many actors who are irritable, agitated and have mild bipolar disorders."

The drug helps patience to sleep, said Kuemmerle.
