Ooooh, Brian, thanks for that! Highest of praise to that unbeatable and utterly memorable theme song. LOVE IT!
I'd forgotten how many incredible people have starred on that show. I particularly love the folks they had for the DA roles over the years. I sort of had a crush (yes, believe or not) on Steven Hill, who was the first DA and probably the oldest and craggiest. S. Epatha Merkerson has been there since the beginning and is consistently wonderful.
Two of the things I like best about Law & Order filming in New York: one, I've gotten to see them filming around town on several occasions, and, two, all the L&O shows are a steady source of employment for many unknown and struggling NYC actors. I've seen several friends on screen over the years.
Dick Wolf, the creator of the series and father of it all, deserves all the many millions he must have made by now. Wow, what a gift he's given to all of us over all these years.
