Jerry Orbach was on Conan O'Brian last night (can't recall if it was a repeat or not). Conan asked Orbach how long can L&O keep going and that it was like there were 900 spinoffs. (ha, it certainly feels like it sometimes). Orbach said that Dick Wolf (creator and exec. producer) said that he wanted to break Gunsmoke's record of 20 years. He also stated that he's well respected by the NYPD (as well as the rest of the cast), and that if they see him walking around NYC, they'll ask him if he needs a ride.
He's pretty funny on the show
AND off. He was cracking me up last night.
I can only do so much L&O. For some reason, Syc can do like a 24 hour marathon, but I like the newer episodes better. SVU and CI I like as well.
