Like BlueEchidnaGirl, I too wish Mr. Farina had stayed on in L & O!! He was a great buffer, and replacement, after the loss of beloved Lennie Brisco, {Jerry Orbach.. I still miss that guy!}. I never quite understood what happened.. whose decision it was for him to leave the show{?}.. and why the fancy duds! ..He should have been a tad disheveled instead, I think.. a little Columbo-ishness would've been nice..
I hate Fontana. He is a douchebag. He was a really prick in that episode where he puts that guy's head in a toilet, he abused his power in that moment. Asshole.
@superslicer69 Dag the guy kidnapped a child, Fontana was the bomb. I mean I don't support abuse of power in real life but that's how fictional cops on screen become heroes, doing what they have to do - Dirty Harry, Bullet, John McClane - in FICTION whether or not he's a douchebag depends on if he was water-boarding that guy for his own benefit or to help someone in danger: finding the kidnapped child.

Just for correction "Introublezone", this is Season 15, and it's the original series of "Law and Order"...

I wish Dennis Farina had stayed on Law & Order. He was so good on that show.

I remember this episode. This isn't from Criminal Intent at all. It's from the mother series.

Dennis Farina is a great character actor, maybe the best ever...in fact, he served as a police officer in real life.
