I haven't been feeling so great lately so I bought season one of Law and Order, Season 5 of SVU and Season 1 of CI. It feels like many Broadway performers have made guest appearances....
The obvious one is Jerry Orbach, of course. Jane Krakowski, Rebecca Luker, Bebe Neuwirth, John Cullum, Craig Bierko, Cynthia Nixon, Anthony Rapp, Norbert Leo Butz, Audra McDonald, Carole Shelley, Philip Seymour Hoffman, Kelly Bishop...can't think of any more right now but I know there must be a LOT more....

Anyone see any other performers on the show that I didn't mention?

Karen Ziemba had a major guest role omn L&O Criminal Intent last season.

The show is filmed in NYC, and it's become a theatre ndustry joke that every actor on Broadway has been on Law & Order at leat once.

Billy Porter was on the other night.

I think I saw Michael Mulheren on there once. And I distinctly remember seeing an episode with Victor Garber.

Heck, for some shows it's easier to ask which cast members haven't been on L&O. :P

Yes, and he was fantastic, gov. (Did you see him on W&G a few years ago?)

Norbert was in SVU, the episode is called "Misleader", original airdate was March 31, 2000.

Small tangent.....it seems the show has a couple fans on here, anyone have a favorite episode? I definately have to say that "Loss" from SVU, Season 5...stephanie March's last episode?

Oh my gosh, I'm a huge L&O fan.

Favorite episode in recent memory is the one with Dean Hutchison (Percy, from the Green Mile) who played the copycat serial killer. That aired just a few weeks ago and it creeped me out and was very well acted.

Julia Murney recently filmed an episode of L&O:CI called "The View from Here." She isn't sure when it will air. She told me to check the L&O website to find out the airdate.

I'll add Ellen Greene and Mandy Patinkin to the list, who I've both seen on the original.

Jennifer Laura Thompson played a crazed murderer on Law and Order: SVU Season 3, episode "Surveillance"

This episode was actually on television on USA tonigh if anyone caugh it.

OMG when was Jennifer Laura Thompson on? I'm sure Iive missed it but that is one episode I'd want to see. Same with Julia Murney.

Tammy Blanchard was in some episode involving a murder (of course) and she played a babysitter or something similar, right?

Is it me or are most of these actors on SVU?

The ep. I saw Tammy on was the one where she played a college student who got raped

Okay I didn't realize that was Tammy but now that you say it I had a flashback to that.

Is that hte one where someone got raped by some frat guys, or am I getting my crime shows mixed up?

Uh, didn't Hugh Jackman do an episode?

[Lorelai]

Posted: 11/20/04 at 4:06pm

Actually I looked up the Tammy Blanchard thing....she was actually on two episodes. one for SVU and one for CI.

No word on Hugh Jackman's page on IMDB that he was ever on L&O

[timote316]

I believe somewhere on the two Anthony threads, he said something about being the last actor in NY to be on a L&O episode. I know it was exaggeration, but it sure does seem like it.

Jackman never did L&O, though he did do lots of guest starring roles in that vein on various Australian TV shows way back when.

Has anyone mentioned Mary Catherine Garrison yet? I think she was on it once.
