“Law & Order: Criminal Intent” star Vincent D’Onofrio was released from a New York hospital Friday after a diagnosis of exhaustion, a spokeswoman said.

D’Onofrio, 45, who stars in the NBC drama as police Detective Robert Goren, had fainted on two occasions this month.

He was resting at home in New York and was expected to return to work next week, series spokeswoman Pam Ruben Golum said.

The actor fainted Nov. 10 and was hospitalized after rehearsing a strenuous scene that included climbing for the New York-based drama. He was discharged after two days but fainted again at home Monday.

He returned to the hospital for further observation and testing, which did not reveal any health problems beyond exhaustion, Golum said.
