does vincent d'onofrio have a big role in this fim? thanks

He plays the best friend of the main male character. Not really a big role.

thanks so much for letting me know.

Actually, he plays the guy who tries to steal Hilary away from Victor. Kinda important role, but not really.

Well he did until the film was run for a test audience. Gordon was supposed to be Hillary's other lover, but the audiences who screened this version got really upset that Hillary would cheat on a man with cancer (even though Gordon is basically a nice if inarticulate working guy), so there went VD'O's bigger role in this film

In the book, Hilary did cheat on Victor; she had sex with Gordon, who was wonderfully understanding and told her she was simply in love with two men at the same time, no big deal.
