  • Chris Noth is is gone. Deal with it. There has only been one irreplaceable actor in any of the Law and Order shows....and that was Jerry Orbach. (Miss ya Lenny!) The Law and Order family of shows is all about good acting, tight direction and well...

  • I will not watch the shows with Jeff Goldblum. He is not all all suited to this role; is way too old; is not handsome; what else can I say?!
