Aside some Full Metal Jacket and The Cell, his Pooh-Bear character in the Salton Sea is one of his best.
I liked how he was Bill Newman for both JFK and Malcolm X. He was very creepy in Men in Black... but funny with the role.
and of course, I loved his Orson Welles...

I love this guy.  He was really good (but had too small of a part) in 'The Dangerous Lives of Alter Boys'.  I've only watched a couple of episodes of Criminal Intent.  From what I saw, he makes a good small screen actor as well as movie actor.  

I agree, his Orson Wells was awesome  :)

Criminal Intent is one of the few shows I will try to watch, even though he gets stuck playing the "cheesy cop", I think it works well.  I would definately like to see him in more films though.

Come on now, we all know his best role was Adventures in Babysitting.

I watched CI last night also, only the first episode though, my girlfriends mom loves him, and has to watch every sunday, its a good show, and worth checking out if you are a fan of Vince.

I like his female co-star too...kinda reminds me of the chick from CSI, but her and Vinny together kick some ass.  Fundementally, it a good show...the pacing of it is always good, but it's still got the Law and Order formula for the most part.  (First part, gettin' the bad guy...2nd part, convicting the bad guy...)  They try to show the point of view from the criminal's side, so it's different than the others...

I like the others too, but maybe just cause this is on sunday night, I almost always will throw it on.

I saw 'Happy Accidents'... but it was a mistake, I picked it up instead of another movie I wanted to see. But that's pretty awesome that you met him.
