![]() Has prison changed Kingpin’s mind-set, or does he have the same goals and focuses as before?ĭ’ONOFRIO: There are new focuses and new goals. His whole deal is based on emotion, so we’re taking him down that role further. I’ve shot some pretty cool scenes, so far. How are you feeling about the scripts that you’ve read, and how do they compare to what you’ve done previously on the show?ĭ’ONOFRIO: It’s hard to top the first season, with Steven DeKnight’s writing, but Erik Oleson (the new showrunner) is a very good writer. That particular amount of time, I won’t tell you, but that’s the agreement that we have. So, we picked a particular amount of time that he would give me the heads up on, if they needed me to come in. We made an agreement that we would give each other a head’s up, throughout the years, so they’d know my availability. We made a deal, before the first season, that I could come in and out of the show. I have a standing agreement with Jeph Loeb. Every director is different and they all have their good qualities.ĭ’ONOFRIO: I can answer part of that question. Some directors are all about camera, and that’s great too, but some are more about story and it’s always more personable when they are because you talk more about story points than you do about shots or performances. He comes from the theater, so he understands story really well, which always helps a lot, in a director. He’s got a way with actors because he has a very nice temperament. You get to know him pretty well and trust him. He knows what he wants and he’s really personable on set. Talbert? What was he like, as a director?ĭ’ONOFRIO: He’s very cool and smart. How did you find working and collaborating with David E. It’s a difficult answer to give because, at times, it’s significantly different because of who they hired to play the part, but as far as the story itself, it’s pretty close to the script. It does change a lot because of what each actor brought to their part, but other than that, the storyline is the same. I would improvise something in almost every scene that we did, but some of it was just too outrageous.ĭid this film change or evolve much, from the first time you read it, or is the finished film pretty close to what you first read?ĭ’ONOFRIO: I would say that it’s pretty close to the script. We improvised a lot, said some funny stuff, and cracked each other up. Also, Dax Shepard is one of my close friends, and it’s always fun to be around him ‘cause he’s a very funny guy. Everybody in that room were very nice people and good conversationalists. Basically, I’m bleeding out through the whole thing, but there were distractions. ![]() ![]() Did you have any particularly fun or funny moments on set, with any of them?ĭ’ONOFRIO: Improvising with the cast, inside the liquor store, was fun. This film has a pretty great cast, with Dax Shepard, Kurtwood Smith and Tim Allen. ![]() I just liked it because I saw, the way that it was written, that it could be something I could have fun with. They really let me expand on it and do all kinds of stuff. I thought I could bring some kind of weirdness to it. VINCENT D’ONOFRIO: With it being (writer) Ted Melfi’s, and I think he’s a really talented guy, and the introduction to David, the director, I thought that I could do something with the part.
