I've never seen Law & Order Criminal Intent, and except for Mystic Pizza, I don't think I'd seen any of Vincent D'Onofrio's films. I have a vague memory of seeing 2000's The Cell, but I think it was during a party, and only remembered bits and pieces. I certainly didn't remember seeing Vincent's bits and pieces... You won't seem on the Blue Ray either, but in the original VHS release, you can see the camera did point just a wee bit lower....
I was surprised when searching how many nude scenes D'Onofrio actually did, and how different he looks in each of his roles. There's a reason the actors nickname is The Human Chameleon Noffy. I'm sure it refers to his characters, but he's also shaped shifted in many of his roles. The actor in fact, stated that one of the reasons he did Mystic Pizza, was because he was thin, and wanted it memorialized on film.
Hotel Paradise (1995)
1995's Hotel Paradise has an interesting premise, one in which D'Onofrio's character The Naked Stranger, was actually naked the entire film Sadly, the filming was frustratingly edited. Although we see quite a lot of D'Onofrio's co-star Theresa Russell, we only get a few quick glimpses at D'Onofrio's derriere, one during the film's closing credits. For the rest of it, The Naked Stranger is covered by a satin sheet. He does wear it well though.

I think I remember parts of The Cell, well, some of Jennifer Lopez's costumes, but it may not be a memory of seeing the film as much as remembering seeing promotional shots for the movie in magazines. Regardless, it may be time for a re-watch.
