Actor Vincent D'Onofrio wants to know why it's always the male who is mentioned in sexual harassment scenarios.


D'Onofrio class turns into law & disorder
Vincent D'Onofrio questioned harassment policy.
-->Quirky actor Vincent D'Onofrio, star of "Law and Order: Criminal Intent," is again drawing attention to himself.
At a recent mandatory NBC Universal workplace harassment seminar for the show's cast and crew, the bachelor D'Onofrio, 46, argued with the network lawyer conducting the proceedings until the class finally had to be cut short.
The trouble began when the lawyer presented a hypothetical scenario - involving a costume assistant stumbling on a male actor looking at hard-core porn in his trailer - and asked if that constituted sexual harassment.
"Why is it always a male actor?" D'Onofrio interjected bitterly, according to a Lowdown spy. "This policy is unfair! It's a matter of subjectivity, pitting one person's idea of what's acceptable against another's."
He continued: "When you ask actors to do a provocative show with provocative material, they might need to study up on risqué things - looking at a porn site to understand the character better. The policy discriminates against the artists, who might be doing things in the interest of their art."
As the lawyer grew frazzled, D'Onofrio continued to berate him, even drawing scattered applause at one point. Says the spy: "He got all belligerent. When the guy would try and move on, Vincent kept pressing him with more."
D'Onofrio doesn't have a personal publicist. A rep for the show told Lowdown yesterday: "NBC Universal is committed to providing a workplace free of harassment of any kind, and provides training for all of our series. However, we do not comment on the specifics of any internal meetings."
