Law and Order won't be the same without Sam Waterson. ☹️☹️☹️☹️☹️☹️☹️

The other half of the face of L&O. It's fitting he leaves 20 years removed from the late legend, Jerry Orbach.

@louiseastley 6 месяцев назад

Being that he wasn’t in it for the original 4 seasons it shouldn’t be too bad eventually as it was good before he was in it. But I will miss him.

@@lennarthagen3638 Actually, he’s someone who has lead a life connected to Jesus - I’ve personally seen him and his dear wife at one of our churches - and I would be shocked if he uses substances to disassociate. I don’t know him well, but I’m a pretty good judge of character. Peace to you - and may God bless you.

I’ve been rewatching Law & Order over the last few months and it hits different. A good portion of the actors have passed. Almost everyone is old or middle aged now. Also, the writing was 5 times better back then. Overall, the show makes me feel old, but it’s also comfort food.

@antmagor Месяц назад

I know he’s a beloved character, but personally Nora Lewin was my favorite of the district attorneys. Of all the DAs they had on the show she was the one that genuinely felt completely disinterested in making decisions based on politics, public opinion, or agenda. Every decision she ever made genuinely felt rooted in whether or not it was the right thing to do.

I was surprised to hear Sam Waterston say "Not on your Nelly". It's such a British saying but Wikipedia says his father was born in Scotland. Though I'm not an expert on which expressions have or haven't crossed the Atlantic. SW is indeed an accomplished actor.

@rolandmiller5456 6 месяцев назад

A quick history lesson: from 1942 until 2009 in New York City there were only two men that were were the district attorneys in New York. Frank Hogan had the job for 1942 until 1974 when he died. The guy that followed him was on the job from 1974 until 2009 he retired at the age of 86. Google a guy by the name of Robert Morgenthau. He died in 2019 just short of his 100th birthday.
