I thought it was nearly impossible to cast the Kingpin before Vincent donned the role. I thought they would have to settle with a wrestler like King Kong Bundy who couldn't act, or get an actor who could act but dress him up in a fat suit and makeup like they did for the Blob in the X-Men Orgins: Wolverine movie. I'm satisfied with Vincent, even if he's not 100% accurate looking to the comics he's still very Kingpin-like in his looks.
shareHe was incredible, he brought so much depth to the character.
shareHe's one of the best American actors around. I really dig the voice and these childlike mannerisms. It's unnerving.
shareI thought he was terrible, not entirely his fault, the scripts he gets are bad. When was Kingpine ever scared in the comics?
He doesn't look or act like him imho and his emotional range is weak to say the least
Well he's supposed to be just starting out. He's trying to learn the ropes a bit. Him being in jail is perhaps focusing him and honing in his skills and emotions before he becomes the full fledged Kingpin of the comics when he gets out and re-starts his criminal empire.
