After making his TV debut in an episode of NBC's "Crime Story", Vince landed his first major role as the reluctant accomplice of a pedophile in "I Know My First Name Is Steven" (NBC, 1989). He was again a hapless assistant to a criminal in "Till Death Do Us Part" (NBC, 1992). In fact, many of Vince's best small screen roles have traded on his large physique, close-cropped hair and shifty eyes (a result of a childhood birth defect). During the 1996-97 season, he offered a trio of outstanding villains: as a psychotic photographer who kidnaps FBI Agent Scully on Fox's "The X-Files", as janitor with a glass who may have kidnapped a missing child in the CBS miniseries "Night Sins", and as an eerie serial killer nicknamed 'The Street Sweeper' on the ABC drama "Murder One". For his performance in the latter, the actor received an Emmy as Outstanding Guest Actor in a Drama Series.
