The Definitive Law & Order Cast Hierarchy. It's summertime, and with way less new TV to consume, we're facing a bit of drought, which has us turning to old friends like Law & Order. Did you know that at any point in time, you can find some version of Law & Order on television?* It's a fact! For example, on Law & Order: SVU, Stabler and Benson were not originally partners, and there was no Ice- T with Richard Belzer. But those problems were fixed by Season 2. Most of them were just tough women with great hair who looked like they'd just taken off their glasses. You can't cast Skeet Ulrich in anything, ever.
A *TIE* between the Goldblum/Burrows/Mastrantonio Criminal Intent (2. Martin/Govich Law & Order (2. It's a tie, since these are the two least popular versions of Law & Order featuring lady detectives (or ladydicks), and they're both one- season versions of the show that I'm including for random reasons.. Despite being around for only one season, this cast makes the list for two reasons. Jeff Goldblum is still Jeff Goldblum.
For the final season of Criminal Intent, the one immediately following this season, Vincent D'Onofrio and Kathryn Erbe returned to to reprise their roles. Martin was promoted to lead detective, and Milena Govich came on as the original Law & Order's first female detective, Nina Cassady.
People hated her very, very much. In fact, I've seen her voted the least popular Law & Order character of all time in some polls. She was ultimately replaced by Jeremy Sisto. But you have to hand it to Martin for continuing to fight the good fight.

Law & Order with Dennis Farina and Jesse L. Martin (2. 00. 4–2. Look, you're kind of a good actor, Dennis Farina, but you look ridiculous, and you are a poor Jerry Orbach replacement.

Do something about that hair! Can't you just imagine Farina's Joe Fontana going to interrogate ? BTW, during the Farina years, Jesse L. Martin left for a bit to be in the movie version of Rent, and was temporarily replaced with Michael Imperioli.
Law & Order with Jeremy Sisto and Anthony Anderson (2. Sisto's Cyrus Lupo was actually a pretty tremendous, gravel- voiced detective, but I couldn't dig on Anthony Anderson.
I think his schtick was that he liked food? See how bummed Sam Waterston looks? Epatha Merkerson can't even stand appropriately close to the group. The show was canceled after this season (its twentieth), which I still thing was a massive mistake.
I wish Dick Wolf & Co. He was only able to film two episodes before succumbing to prostate cancer.. A *TIE* between all the Chris Noth years (1. Law & Order, 2. Criminal Intent)). Confession: I am not a huge Chris Noth fan, but he brought a certain brooding something to his role on the original Law & Order, and also to Criminal Intent.
When Noth was on CI, he and Vincent D'Onofrio took turns playing the lead in any given episode, and whenever he was on- screen I just wondered what D'Onofrio was doing. I was not a fan of the redhead during these Criminal Intent years, though. The show seemed convinced she was the most beautiful woman in the world, whereas Kathryn Erbe only got to play an undercover hooker like, once, and she was gorgeous too! Law & Order with Benjamin Bratt (1.
Benjamin Bratt's Det. Rey Curtis was brought in to replace Chris Noth's Michael Logan (who many viewers found to be . Plus he spoke Spanish to perps! Criminal Intent with Jeff Goldblum (2.
It was almost criminal (heh) to have both Jeff Goldblum and Vincent D'Onofrio on the. Eric Bogosian. Orbach would have been constantly telling D'Onfrio to calm down.). The Original Criminal Intent (2. Vincent D'Onofrio is the shit, but this version of Criminal Intent definitely made me question its setup, wherein Kathryn Erbe's only job seemed to be to ask one question and then stare at D'Onofrio so that his character, Detective Robert Goren, could mindf*ck the perp. And with that said, man do I love Courtney B. Law & Order with Jerry Orbach and Jesse L.
Martin (1. 99. 9–2. Never has a young black (gay) man gotten along so well with an old white. And Dianne Wiest sometimes! Did you know the first season of Law & Order had Chris Noth with some dude named George Dzundza, who was pissed that it was an ensemble. Law & Order: SVU: The Golden Years (2. What, too obvious? There's just no getting around it: The best cast in the history of the Law & Order franchise is this one from SVU, after Ice- T and Richard Belzer joined and before Christopher Meloni left.
Not only is this particular iteration of the show great because the crimes are always . Stabler had the best thousand- yard stare this side of Henry Rollins. Benson has a bizarre backstory (she's the product of a rape!).
Tutola (Ice- T) and Munch (Belzer) were—and still are—an amazing twosome. Plus you've got the no- nonsense Medical Examiner Melinda Warner (Tamara Tunie) and the scene- stealing psychologist Dr. I've gotten into near fistfights with people about Chris Noth's detective work, so I can take it.
