Some pics from the show:

As some people know, I’m just the tiniest bit obsessive about screencapping.

Here are a few images from the commercial for Raul’s episode of Law & Order. He plays a blackmailer, here getting caught in the act:

He’s so little!






Nice and shifty-eyed




Someone has been skipping the gym!

L&O tends to shoot on a tight schedule, about four to six weeks before airdate. So I'd say this was shot in early December.

Watching now.

I think he looks great. Do we always have to keep such tabs on his weight?

I saw the Leap of Faith reading this week. I'm not going to say anything more because it's not my place, but I liked it a lot.

Yep, that's him. I saw his name in the credits and wondered who he'd be.

Wait, wait. Not to change the subject, but Leap of Faith Reading?!? Is this some sort of message board screwup, or was there actually a reading this week?

ok am I crazy or was Danny Burstein the judge? It looked exactly like him..

Jason Kravits was the DA. It was like a Drowsy Chaperone reunion.

Emcee - did you go both days?

Luv, I'm soooo jealous. Soooooooooo.....

Anyway, just wanted the L&O. It was nice seeing him in so many scenes vs. that other L&O he was in.

Sutton Foster? I sure hope she plays Raul's sister and not the love interest.

Seconding the intense jealousy...I would pretty much kill to see this. Any word on when it's actually opening on Broadway or out-of-town?

I'm so thrilled at today's NY Post. If this pans out, I know where I'm headed in the fall!
