On to the story as seen on the New York Post, a bastion of fair reporting:
The Law & Order: Criminal Intent set has been a tic stressful of late. It seems series star Vincent D'Onofrio, a rather vigorous supporter of John Kerry, has taken the election results rather hard. D'Onofrio, know best for his role in Full Metal Jacket in which he plays the 'darkest angel in a murderous half wit', collapsed on set Monday after a month long political binge that had friends and co-workers ready for an intervention.
"Ever since John Kerry lost the election, [D'Onofrio] has lost his [bleep,]" said our on-set insider.
"He has been getting into fistfights with people, and when he passed out today, we all thought he was faking it. But then he insisted they call 911."
An ambulance raced to the Queens studio, where paramedics found nothing wrong with the gifted actor, who became a star in 1987 with his searing performance as a misfit Marine in "Full Metal Jacket."
Tensions on the "Criminal Intent" set are running high. "No one thinks Vincent will last for much longer," the insider said.
"He is so hard to work with — a total freak. He constantly complains about the scripts and has held up production a lot."
D'Onofrio, a big Kerry supporter, was said to be devastated over President Bush's re-election. "When PAGE SIX [last week] wrote about 'Law & Order' putting up signs forbidding political discussions on set, it was funny," our source said. "Those signs were put up because of [D'Onofrio]."
About a month before the election, D'Onofrio "insisted" on putting up anti-Bush posters and fliers, "and would attack anyone who disagreed with him," the spy added.
Time to get Vincent a full metal straight-jacket...
