Jeremy Sisto Joins Law and Order
In The Criminal Justice System, The People Are Represented By Two Separate Yet Equally Important Groups, The Police Who Investigate Crime, And The District Attorney’s Who Prosecute The Offenders, These Are Their Stories. Da DUN!
Most of us could utter that little prime-time drama intro in our sleep. Even though it’s now in its 18th season, we’ve seen most if not all of the episodes, mainly due to the fact that TNT airs back-to-back re-runs at least five times a week. TNT knows drama and Jack McCoy prosecutes New York City criminals like nobody’s business. And if you’re a Law and Order fan, you know that this never gets old.
And now it’s getting even better. Jeremy Sisto, otherwise known as Billy from HBO’s Six Feet Under, joins the cast as Detective Cyrus Lupo, new partner to Detective Ed Green. From rollin’ with the homies, to playing a bipolar photographer infatuated with his own sister, to smackin’ down criminals on cold concrete - here’s guy who certainly doesn’t need to worry about being typecast.
That’s not the only change in this new season of Law and Order, which premiered this past Wednesday. Linus Roache (as Michael Cutter) takes Jack McCoy’s place as Chief Assistant District Attorney. Although we’ll miss McCoy’s powerful closing arguments, he’s not off the show entirely, he just got a promotion. He is the newly appointed District Attorney, taking the place of Fred Thompson, who left the show, of course, to run for president.
If all law enforcement officers and attorneys were this interesting…
