LOS ANGELES - Vincent D'Onofrio, star of "Law & Order: Criminal Intent," was back in a hospital Tuesday after fainting for the second time in a week.
D'Onofrio was hospitalized for two days last week when he fainted after rehearsing a strenuous scene that included climbing for the New York-based NBC drama. He had been expected to return to work Tuesday.
But he fainted again late Monday at his New York home and returned to the hospital for further observation and testing, series spokeswoman Pam Ruben Golum said.
Initial tests did not reveal any health problems, she said.
"He's in good spirits and producers are optimistic he'll be released soon," Golum said Tuesday.
Series producer NBC Universal Television Studio said D'Onofrio, who plays New York police Detective Robert Goren, was not in ill health before he fainted the first time.
