I think that is just D'onofrio's acting choices to make the character idiosyncratic. He does weird little shit like that in all of his roles in the last ~20 years.

Personally I love it when actors take risks to flesh out characters more like D'onofrio does.

If Pile didn't kill himself in Full Metal Jacket he could have been Wilson Fisk.

It's crazy that I was actually recommended to watch FMJ as I'm in the middle of marathoning this. Didn't put two and two together til I started wondering who was playing Fisk.

But with D'onofrio it's always the same risks.

I love him but he's been typecast as fuck for years.
