## Resource

Vincent D’Onofrio joins us for a deeply honest conversation about discipline, insecurity, and what it actually takes to last decades in this business. From wearing a full body Kingpin suit to embracing failure on set, Vincent explains why ego is useless, why struggle is the art, and why he has no intention of retiring at 66. He also opens up about being bullied as a kid in Florida and how those early wounds still fuel his performances today.
