FIRST PHOTO OF NEW COP ON 'L&O'

April 1, 2008 -- HERE'S your first look at Anthony Anderson, the newest addition to "Law & Order."
Anderson, who starred on Fox's "K-Ville" last season, joins the cast as Det. Kevin Bernard.
"He's a former IAB [internal affairs] officer who didn't sign up for that job - they recruited him right out of the academy and told him he could become a homicide detective in two years," Anderson told The Post.
"It's what he really wants to do," Anderson said. "Bernard feels he can really make a difference as a homicide detective."
Bernard is replacing Det. Ed Green (Jesse L. Martin), who's leaving the show. Bernard's first appearance on "L&O" will overlap with Green's final appearance, scheduled to air April 23 on NBC. Bernard will be paired with Det. Cyrus Lupo (Jeremy Sisto), who's also new to the "L&O" family.
"He's not a hard-ass," Anderson says of Bernard.
"He's a fair guy trying to find his way in a new station house - and trying to get away from the stench of the 'rat squad' of internal affairs."
Anderson, 37, is no stranger to TV and movie fans. In addition to "K-Ville," he starred on The WB's "All About The Andersons," which was loosely based on his life.
He also gave a riveting performance in a guest-starring role in "The Shield" opposite Michael Chiklis and Glenn Close. Anderson's big-screen resume includes roles in "Scary Movie 3," "Barbershop" and "Kangaroo Jack."

It sounds like it is going to be interesting. I hope he is a good fit with Lupo. I can't wait for some new episodes. even though Jesse is leaving.
