I just saw Michael Imperioli from the Sopranos on Access Hollywood. He said he is going to be filling in for Jesse Martin on Law and Order for several episodes while Jesse makes the RENT movie. I guess that he's definitely in then.

Haven't we known for some time that Jesse was going to be in for sure?

Anyway, the count is 6.

Ant
Adam
Jesse
Taye

Three for six- We've got Wilson, Idina, and Taye left to sign, and we all know that Anthony and Adam are in!

ETA- Do we have confirmation that W, I, & T are in?

ok but now my ALL time favorite show Law and Order is totally ruined... this is a disaster! No Jesse, no Jerry. This is a sad sad day.

Shesings - I'm with you.

Although Dennis Farina is really good!

It wasn't runined without Chris Noth or Ben Bratt, and it won't be runined without Jess Martin for a few episodes!

Confirmed cast:

Anthony Rapp - Mark
Adam Pascal - Roger
Jesse L. Martin - Collins
Rosario Dawson - Mimi
Tracie Thoms - Joanne

Everyone else is still considered to be "in negotiations." And I'm still kind of hoping that WJH doesn't accept Angel or somehow can't reach an agreement. I really want Jai Rodriguez to play that role.

^ I know. I think it'd be great to see Wilson in there, BUT I've heard Jai's "Today 4 U" and ADORED it. Plus, I think he would look so cute in the Santa drag. ^^
