Funny that Sara played Marty's mom's younger sister in Back to the Future. Then there's Chris, who replaced the actress that played Marty's girlfriend in the sequels.
the Buick Electra Estate Wagon was a true American classic! .. I miss the big station wagons of the 1960's and '70's! .. when kids could sit in rear-facing third seats and hung out of the rear windows on the way home from Cub Scouts or baseball practice! It was a great time to be a kid before video games and computers! We actually played outside too!
He intentionally took time off from acting after FMJ to lose the weight so that Hollywood would not offer him only "fat guy" roles. He took this role nine months after FMJ to show them a different look for a wider range of offers.
@MrDogwalker100 He actually gained 70 lbs for the role of Pvt. Pyle in 6 months and it took 9 months to lose it. At the time, that was a world record for the most weight gained for a movie role. He beat Robert De Niro by 10 lbs in preparation for his role in Raging Bull.
You know what's really amazing? He was 280 pounds when he did the Gomer Pyle character and then he dropped the weight and bulked up in time to play this character.
I'm kinda of sorry the Thor obssessed kid didn't get to play Jane Foster or Darcy Lewis in the "Thor" movie. Or at least have D'Onofrio have a few lines or something.
Question: Did Vincent D'Onofrio lose weight for this role after playing Private Pyle in Full Metal Jacket (released same year) or did he gain weight to play Private Pyle after this role was filmed? Anyone know? There must be an 80lb difference at least.
@MrDogwalker100 Vincent lost all the weight he gained for Full Metal Jacket, in order to make this movie. In the matter of fact, this was his first presentation with a new body. I really, really hope he'll lose all the weight he's gained now. Being obese and smoker is nothing but being a walking dead. I think Vincent D'Onofrio is an amazing actor, a genius. He's so intense and brilliant. Sadly, those stupid producers and directors keep him underrated.
@MrDogwalker100 being a fan of law and order i looked it up, he gained weight for full metal jacket but becuase he was thinner before he played him, he was able to drop it quickly
D`onofrio the greatest Characture actor in the last 30 years!
Check his roles you can see how far lost in every one of them he is...He got so deep into Goren it drove him to exhuastion! second up is Laurie Who now has a limp for his love of the craft! considering only one of us posting has ever been a paid actor on a movie set..My opinion trumps yours!!
but, what's up with keeping on the weight? D'Onofrio looks like a bad m-f-er when he's svelte. Could've possibly landed a few "action" roles like that.
Detective Robert Goren in the making! Who would've thought that of all the male actors in this movie, the one playing a tiny part would become an "actor's actor"?
My husband bought this movie for my kids a month ago. I hadn't seen it in like 20 years...when this scene came up I was like "OH MY GOD it's Vincent D'Onofrio!!! AND HE'S STILL HOT!!!" Hubby didn't like that too much haha
I love who D'onofrio is willing to gain/lose weight or dye his hair for his work. He's so good. I also had a crush on him in this movie when it first came out and I think I was only 6! Guess my taste hasn't changed. :0)
@elsope1 This movie was before FMJ, Vincent gain 60 lbs. to play Leonard Lawrence. Hiding Jelly doughnuts in his footlocker.
And his parents did have children that lived. He was so ugly that he could have been a modern art masterpiece. He look like 300 lbs of chewed bubbble gum. "I am in a world of shit".
Funny that Sara played Marty's mom's younger sister in Back to the Future. Then there's Chris, who replaced the actress that played Marty's girlfriend in the sequels.
