Absolutely love him. OP, he was also a Broadway star as well.

Promises, Promises.

He had 20/20 vision and so when he died, he donated his eyes.

That would be such a great line to use at cocktail parties. “People say I’ve got Jerry Orbach’s eyes. No...really.”

I grew up on this guy. I grew up listening to the soundtrack of The Fantasticks and I remember in college going to see him on Broadway in 42nd Street. I was rather surprised to later see him making such a big name in Hollywood since there wasn't a huge amount of crossover between Broadway and Hollywood back in the 80's and 90's.

Huge multi-talented guy.

The episodes when he guest stars in Murder She Wrote are some of my favorites!

He was the best and I wish there were more like him.


More like him. Len Cariou was another great veteran of Broadway who made a successful crossover to Hollywood in both TV and film.
Also Brian Stokes Mitchell.
One who goes/went back and forth between the coasts Morgan Freeman

Same here!

Also, I have also thought about a spin off show about Lenny Briscoe’s early years would be great. Who was the partner who followed Logan (Mr. Big)? They had the best chemistry

At the start of the pandemic, I decided to get myself a present, to help get through it.
Box set of Complete Law & Order series.
Best money I've ever spent.
So glad to know DCUM has fellow Jerry Orbach fans!
There's a bonus feature on one of the discs where basically the entire cast and crew from multiple seasons talks about what an awesome person he is.
