Law & Order: Jack McCoy finally gets a "promotion"

Who's the guy with an imperfect notion of flipping someone off?

 

Mario Cantone

 

Is there a female attorney that Jack HASN'T nailed? With the exception of Ross.

 

Two ADAs ago, Serena Southerlyn, who was played by Elisabeth Rohm. In her final episode, it was revealed her character was a lesbian.

 

Serena's last scene on L&O, right after getting shitcanned from the DA's office:

Serena: Is it because I'm a lesbian?

Our next President: No! Of course not.

 

Must have been sort of awkward for Hillary.

LOS ANGELES (AP) — Sam Waterston may be a getting a "Law & Order" promotion.
The actor is negotiating to step in as the show's New York district attorney, replacing co-star Fred Thompson, a source close to the production said Monday. Thompson, a former U.S. senator, is weighing a presidential run and asked to be released from the NBC drama.
The source was not authorized to comment publicly and spoke on condition of anonymity.
Waterston, who's been with "Law & Order" for 13 years, plays Executive Assistant District Attorney Jack McCoy. His character would take over from District Attorney Arthur Branch (Thompson) when the show returns in midseason, the source said.
The story line and McCoy's replacement have yet to be determined.
NBC and series creator and executive producer Dick Wolf declined comment Monday, as did Waterston's representative.
Cast changes are part of the "Law & Order" history, with a variety of actors playing prosecutors and police detectives. NBC had announced that Jeremy Sisto ("Six Feet Under") was joining the drama as a detective when the show begins its 18th year.
Sisto is replacing Milena Govich, who played Detective Nina Cassady.
There's also a larger shake-up in the "Law & Order" family, with next season's "Law & Order: Criminal Intent" to be seen first on the USA cable channel before it airs on NBC. "Law & Order: Special Victims Unit" will remain on NBC with the original series.

I think that's a bad idea for the DA's office - we all know how much Jack McCoy hates to cut a deal.

Still - it could be good, he'd be an interim hoping to keep the job (but with all those run-ins with the state bar?) and be a real cold bastard.

I nominate Rachel Ticotin to take over his spot. with new ADA Kirk "Sticky Fingaz" Jones.

 

And in all three cases -- the militia leader, the yuppie who kills the homeless guy, and the crazy man -- O'Hare gets acquitted or, in the latter case, doesn;t go to prison.

 

The Broadway actors they get as guest stars on that show are so much better than the dreck you find in LA. Another favorite guest star is Jeffrey Nordling and Fran Leibowitz as the chain-smoking judge..
