A really outstanding performance from Lou Taylor Pucci as a young and most immature gambling protégé highlights this particular Criminal Intent episode.
Jay Patterson is our victim here, a respected former Chancellor of the City Schools system who writes an advice column now who is a degenerate gambler. Pucci is brought in to clean the guy out which he does on a gambling ship. Shortly afterward Patterson's body is found in the water. He either he jumped or he had help going over.
Pucci is one of the most interesting characters ever on the series that Goren and Eames had to deal with. Check out the portrayals of both Michelle Pawk as his degenerate mother and John Pankow as his uncle who really raised him and taught him the trade. More than a hint of incest here. His father was a victim of a mob hit.
When he throws that tantrum in the interview room Vincent D'Onofrio starts working a whole new approach to Pucci. The truth as it always does on Criminal Intent comes out.
Definitely see this for Mr. Pucci.
