Bump to bring this thread back to the first page.

Since I've been away for the last two days, I want to get my birthday wishes in now......better late than never. Vincent, you make every day a joy. I look forward to seeing that sweet smile on my TV when I get home from work. No matter how many times I see each episode, it never gets old. I hope you and yours had a very happy day and I must agree with dramaqueen.......49 really never looked so "fine". (Well said, dramaqueen!)

Hmmm... this is silly; I have been staring at this screen for the last 30min... I have NO IDEA what to say... if I ever actually met him, I would probably pass out or stop breathing or something... I mean, really-- I can't even post a Happy birthday message???

Don't feel bad...I was the same way, until i STOPPED thinking about it and just typed what came into my head.

Thanks Kimberly...Will try again

Bump to bring this thread to the attention of all the fans who are here posting re "Betrayed" tonight. Please take time to wish VDO a "Happy Birthday".

Happy Birthday Vincent,

I just want to let you know that I think you are amazing. I enjoy all of your work, and wish you a wonderful birthday.

Thank you for everything that you do,

(ok Kimberly, you were right-- that wasn't so bad)

Best wishes to you and yours, Vincent!

Your talent is mesmerizing!

Good health and many more birthdays to you. Hope this year's is happy.

Hello there Vincent ... it feels strange to be writing to you like this but never mind.

Happy Birthday!

There are a lot of folks out here who love what you and Kate do.

Because of that shared interest, I have made some wonderful friends and had a LOT of fun. This is a side-effect of your work that you might not be wholly aware of.

So, as well as "Happy Birthday", I wanted to say "Thank You." Your work enriches my life.

Happy Birthday VDO! Mine was the 20th, sorry, you are a little older than me, but you still look fine!

I think it is a fabulous idea.
As by my sign in name you can tell I LUV Vinnie D. If anyone can help me out, I am trying to pitch a storyline to him and I can't get in contact with anyone that can help me. I love the new season, although the first story was a bit predictable(what's up with that) I have seen it every time it comes on. I would love to see more emotion, like a hug between Goren and Eames, they've been together for so long now and more joking like in the beginning. I think he looks absolutely gorgeous more now than ever. Everytime I see his belly I just want to hug him like the big teddy bear he is. If you read this Mr. D I wish you the Happiest Birthday ever and many more to come. I wish I could celebrate with you; I am one of your biggest fans.

Hope to hear from someone soon.

I HOPE MR D'ONOFRIO HAS A WONDERFUL BIRTHDAY!!!!!

Happy birthday, Vincent!

I have followed your career since "Full Metal Jacket", and I have enjoyed your every performance. But more than that, I have a tremendous amount of respect for you and your refusal to contribute to Hollywood melodrama. Your ability to remain off the radar and protect your privacy and your family deeply impresses me. I admire your conviction. I would also like to thank you for giving us the character of Bobby Goren. No fictional character has ever impressed me more. You are amazing.

Enjoy your day!

With deep affection,
Dani

Bump to keep this thread on the first page. Wouldn't want anyone to miss their opportunity to have a Birthday message delivered to Vincent.

Vincent,

I hope you have a great birthday and a happy year with your family around you and the work that you love. You certainly have brought happiness to all of us with the characters you create. From Pvt. Pyle to Det. Goren and all of the crazy quilt's worth in between, your career has been fascinating to watch. Some of them I can never quite get out of my head.. Valentino and Guy are a couple that come right to mind. Your Orsen Wells was a recent treat I didn't think I'd ever get to enjoy. It was fantastic. Please keep the characters coming and take care of yourself.

Happy Birthday Handsome,

Christine

Dear Vincent,

Adding my HAPPY BIRTHDAY wishes to all of the above!!
Hope you have a great day and keep inspiring us with your work and person.

Enjoy the birthday cake!!

Hi Mr. D'Onofrio,
Have you seen how much of you that USA is giving us, your fans, for your birthday? This marathon is joyously cutting into my productivity. Anyway, I want to say how much I appreciate you. Thank you for sharing your drive and your talent with us. I hope the relationship is mutually symbiotic. Happy Birthday!

birthday bump!

Encouraging my fellow fans to post to this (the big 49th birthday is June 30th) so you still have a few days to post your messages)

The Vault

Happy Birthday Vincent,

I read once that you said we women are in love with Bobby Goren, not you. Well, you are certainly correct that we are in love with Bobby Goren. You have given us a wonderful character who makes us laugh and cry and just want to hug him and make him all better. Of course, we can't be in love with you because we don't actually know you--although it feels like we do since we have seen so much of you in your movies and interviews. But what I can say for sure is that I am most definitely in love with your talent. When I watch your movies, it is just magic to watch Vincent D'Onofrio disappear before my eyes and leave only these amazing characters. From a noseless, rather frightening drug dealer named Pooh Bear to a completely charming, geeky, sweet time traveler named Sam Deed to Robert E. Howard to Orson Welles--I am just transfixed. So thank you for Bobby Goren and all the other wonderful, scary, creepy, endearing, fascinating characters that you have brought into my home. I hope to continue enjoying your performances for a long time to come.

I hope you have a very happy birthday, with lots of time spent with your family.

Since VDO Vault started this thread, I think it is time I left my message....


Happy Birthday Vincent

I think ciaddict said it all in the message prior to this. You are my favorite actor, hands down. I remember so clearly watching you in Clare Dolan. It was the first of your work that I saw other than LOCI. The scene that sticks in my mind was in the cab after the robbery. I had never seen anything like it. The feelings/emotions you showed with your face, eyes and body movements-it blew me away. I think I started appreciating great acting and great actors at that moment. Thank you for sharing your God given talent with us so freely.
This is very fun. This year I can send you a note of thanks and birthday wishes and you may actually get to read it. Last year we did the same thing-but we just had to read each others. Thanks to VDO Vault and her writer friend, we get to actually send them to you.
I pray for you and your family each day. I hope you have a wonderful celebration with everyone who is special to you.
I promised I would not ask you for anything but I cannot resist. I think we would all love to see a picture of Luca or a recent one of all your family.
Best wishes from Kansas City Missouri

Mr. D'Onofrio,

I want to thank you for all the entertaining shows you have given us through all the years. You truly are the most humble and brilliant man I've ever seen. May you always receive the blessings you long for from above as you walk on the road of success! My best to your family --> Carin, Elias, Baby Luca & Leia! Happy, happy 49th birthday!

Enaka

Happy 49th birthday, Vincent! Just want to tell you how much I admire you as a man and as an actor. And to thank you for continuing in Criminal Intent. You are incridible in all your films, but I like you most as Bobby Goren. You have done so much with the character that it is my favorite character of all time, in any genre. So thank you for that. Plus I get to see your work on a more regular basis. Enjoy your family, and have a very happy day. Hope you get everything you've been hoping for!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!!

aww that's pretty I love the colors!

Vincent, There is so much I would really like to say but this is your Happy Bithday board so here it is HAPPY BIRTHDAY. I will remember you and your family, friends and loved ones in my daily prayers with requests that peace, happiness and contentment fills your days. HAPPY BIRTHDAY and many, many more!!

Happy Birthday Vincent,

As someone who just celebrated her 50th birthday 3 weeks ago I can tell you it's OK (though I don't think I can imagine doing it with a couple of little ones in the house). May you have many happy returns and may the Lord continue to watch over and bless you and your family.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY Vincent,

Wow I am so happy to have the opportunity to even say happy birthday to you. I have to say thank you for all that you do, you are honestly amazing and I appreciate your hard work. Oh by the way "Five Minutes Mr. Welles" was beautiful I have always wanted to be a director and finally having the opportunity to see you direct inspired me even more. Anyway I hope you have a great birthday many happy returns and again thank you!
