I was watching old Law and Order episodes last night and got to thinking about Jerry Orbach (Det. Lennie Briscoe). This guy was a wonderful actor and had a long and varied career -- especially on Broadway. This is from The Fantasticks (1962): Link to original video: https://youtu.be/ycPoxZ1NPBY When a thing is funny, search it carefully for a hidden truth. - George Bernard Shaw | ||

Met him once in an elevator in Denver. Seemed like a nice guy. Good actor. RMD TL Davis: “The Second Amendment is special, not because it protects guns, but because its violation signals a government with the intention to oppress its people…” Remember: After the first one, the rest are free. | |||

At Rotterdam, London, Warsaw and half a hundred other places, they put their rather naive theory into operation. They sowed the wind, and now they are going to reap the whirlwind." -Bomber Harris | |||

I was surprised to find out he was the voice of Lumiere in Disney's The Beauty And The Beast. | |||

As I recall, we lost him to prostate cancer. No matter what your doctor tells you about "no longer doing them routinely", have a PSA test done. Had I not done one 15 years ago, I would probably not be here . | |||

Watched a episode of The Rifleman this past Sunday and a very young Jerry Orbach was in it. Nearly every episode of the Rifleman and Gunsmoke has some actor or actress in it that went on to much larger achievements. "Fixed fortifications are monuments to mans stupidity" - George S. Patton | |||

I met him years ago at the Crosby golf tournament. He was outgoing and signed autographs until everyone got one. He was a class act. | |||

The only law and order reruns I'll watch are with him. | |||

A really good actor. Not a bad a singer, either. The song the OP put up was in The Fantasicks, which is the longest running musical (including off-Broadway) ever. The fish is mute, expressionless. The fish doesn't think because the fish knows everything. | |||

| His diet consists of black coffee, and sarcasm.  |
His Lennie Briscoe was my favorite L&O character. When he died, so did the show. | |||
