Before becoming famous as Kingpin in Marvel’s Daredevil and Detective Goren in Law & Order: Criminal Intent, Vincent D’Onofrio landed a breakthrough role in Stanley Kubrick’s Full Metal Jacket as Private Leonard “Gomer Pyle” Lawrence. To portray the troubled Marine recruit, he gained roughly 70–80 pounds, shaved his head and endured physically demanding filming, creating a transformation so convincing that strangers sometimes treated him differently. The extreme performance helped launch a career spanning more than four decades.
