Law & Order was never better without Jerry. I miss him dearly....he brought so much to his roles...whether it was in L & O, Murder She Wrote or The Law and Harry McGraw. I can say I judged every L & O character after him by his skills. No one was ever as good as he was. And his Broadway legacy will never be equaled.
I am also from the family Orbach, in Israel, and I can't believe why they insist so much on Wikipedia that Jerry Orbach was Catholic. Other American actors like Paul Newman were also half Christian and half Jewish, but Newman is remembered as a Jewish actor.
What a loving tribute to Jerry Orbach! Thanks for this post. He will always live on in my memory as Lenny and a great singer!! What a singer. What a performer!
Best seasons of Law & Order, IMHO...ANY with Jerry Orbach and whomever was his partner!! Godspeed, Jerry....you're loved and missed by a lot of folks.
What a great tribute. Jerry Orbach was truly the heart and soul of the show. I was in NYC last year and stumbled across a street they renamed after him and it tore me up.. You are dearly missed and will always be remembered.
Don't worry Jesse you and I are both gonna see Jerry again one day in heaven I promise and who knows maybe he's still in New York watching over you in his spiritural body!
I still can't believe that he's really gone. He was so amazing at anything he did in his career, but as a person he was just amazing and so kind. He will be forever missed
I was about to cry as the cast remembers and pays tribute to Lennie/Jerry at the end; everyone loved him so much... There will be no one else like him...
Thanks for posting. I don't think I've ever seen this. (I'd forgotten about TBJ though!) :(

Lt. Anita Van Buren comes in the flat says.
" Thought you got the guy, what happened"
Lennie looks at the Lt. (in that jerry way) and says
"He ran?"

"When I grow up, I want to be Jerry Orbach," says S. Epatha Merkerson. That'd be alright by me, too.

Jerry looked just like my dad. Anytime Law and Order Came on, my mother and I used to say "Daddy's on TV again" :) A great actor.
