Vincent D'Onofrio as "Pooh Bear" in the Salton Sea

"S" is for the Salton Sea
A-Z Blogging Challenge














Vincent played this outrageous, drug dealer in the Salton Sea. He lost his nose from doing to much coke and now has to were a prosthetic. "Pooh Bear" and his gang of low lifes are, to be kind, the worst kind of freaks you could ever hope to encounter. Hope that you never encounter Pooh, who doesn't think twice about popping your brain out of its socket with a vice and a hacksaw, and making lunch out of it if you short him on a deal. It is totally gross. Vincent offers up a compelling and transfixing character performance.


Vincent describes how he came up with the idea for his character of "Pooh Bear" in the above video.  He gained 45lbs for his role. When he returned to start filming for the movie, director D.J. Caruso didn't even recognize him.

    I saw the movie and recall liking it, but like most films I see I don't really remember it. Another one that I'll have to watch again.

    Now a follower to put you closer to the magic 100.

    Because D'Onofrio breathed only through his mouth in all of his scenes, it made him seem totally unhinged.
