Jerry Orbach dead @ 69

Some sad news from the entertainment world,  Jerry Orbach who played "Lenny Briscoe" for 12 years on "Law & Order" died of Cancer. I loved his character on that show.

Yeah, Jerry was one of the good ones for sure. Facking prostate cancer killed Frank Zappa too. (Did you ever have a "digital exam"? I've had it ONCE  :oops:  - also the PSA blood work. 'sposed to be once a year past 40 or so.)

I think Lenny was the best cop on the original Law & Order Series. It's a shame he will have to be replaced on the new Law & Order on which he was going to do part time detective work for prosecutors (although he will appear in 3 episodes). Plus it was great when he put Baby in the corner!
