Who is V.I.N.CENT?

V.I.N.CENT, short for Vital Information Necessary CENTralized, is a central character in Disney’s 1979 sci-fi film The Black Hole.

Designed as a sentient robot with advanced intelligence and personality, V.I.N.CENT is a key member of the crew aboard the spaceship USS Palomino. His sleek design, featuring a spherical body with extendable arms and expressive, glowing eyes, combines functionality with a touch of whimsy. Despite his mechanical appearance, V.I.N.CENT possesses a strong moral compass, wit, and courage, often acting as the voice of reason among the human characters.

Throughout the movie, V.I.N.CENT serves as both a protector and a source of comic relief, often delivering sharp quips and demonstrating impressive technical capabilities. He plays a critical role in the crew’s survival as they confront the sinister Dr. Hans Reinhardt and the mysterious, dangerous black hole.

The character was brought to life through the voice of Roddy McDowall, whose iconic performance added charm and depth to the robot. Although McDowall was uncredited for his work in the film, his portrayal remains a memorable aspect of V.I.N.CENT’s character.
