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.

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

Oh gosh - I’ll have to find those!

I enjoyed him on Law 'n' Order.

+1000.

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

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

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.

Classic. I love him.

He was a real gem.

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 have found my people.

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

Promises, Promises.
