10 Actors You Never Noticed In Movies
8. Vincent D'Onofrio - Men in Black
It's definitely a "mind = blown" moment for a lot of people when they realise that the abusive farmer who is killed and consumed by Edgar the Bug at the very start of Men in Black is played by none other than the brilliant Vincent D'Onofrio.
Though you have a chance of recognising D'Onofrio before his run-in with Edgar, once Edgar is wearing his skin like an ill-fitting suit, he's basically totally unrecognisable.
The makeup effects combined with the utterly deranged nature of D'Onofrio's performance ensure that the actor is presented in a manner like never before, and so for those who know D'Onofrio best for his sublime recent work as Kingpin on the two Daredevil TV series, it's especially easy to miss him entirely.
It's all the more jarring considering how incredibly memorable a character Edgar is in the movie, making a deep impression despite his relatively limited screen time.
But really, it's all the more a testament to D'Onofrio's mighty acting chops that he disappears so completely into the part.
