Danny Burnstein and Rebecca Luker-SVU Amazing

I know that broadway actors on Law and Order is nothing new. Hell, I'm always shocked when I read a playbill and there isn't a Law and Order credit in an actor's bio. Not sure if anyone else saw last night's very powerful episode? I've been watching SVU since the beginning, and only a handful of episodes have made me tear up...last night's was one. Danny Burnstein's emotional heft to a scene where he took the stand for the defense of his transgender's son's killer, was absolutely heartbreaking. I was lucky enough to see Danny in Follies, a great performance. But watching him in this, made me realize what this man will bring to his Tevye. Can not wait. Plus, it was great to see Rebecca Luker, play his wife.

Was this the season premiere episode of SVU? Haven't seen it yet....the last few seasons have lost their edge I'm afraid yet I still keep watching.

No, last week's episode with Jefferson Mays was the season premiere.

Here's hoping the continue to use the best of Broadway in the cast...(and maybe even Christopher Sieber..LOL).

Just finished watching, and wow! That episode was seriously powerful and thought provoking. Rebecca and Danny nailed it. Can't wait to see him in Fiddler.

They were both very good. I thought the Jefferson Mayes season opener was a little over the top and became a little dull but this episode was very well thought out.

Chris Sieber just tweeted that he's going to have to change his Playbill bio as he WILL be appearing in Law and Order in November.

More of Broadway's best..

Sieber is going to be playing someone not-so-loosely based on a Duggar!

Also, Leslie Odom Jr is revising his role as Reverend Curtis Scott in this week's episode!
