That is what I thought but, it is nice to here the true explanation from the man himself. Thanks for answering one of the biggest mystries of modern man, or at least since Alexander the Great's death!

Sam Waterston could part his hair down the middle and he'd still be one of the greatest actors of all times I love his character in Law and Order very powerful two thumbs up to one of my favorite personalities
I have always enjoyed watching Law and Order.Sam is one of my favorite actors on that show.
Having watched Law and Order and having worked at Ameritrade, I always wondered this (seriously). This is the totally crazy stuff that keeps me up at night. Thank you for explaining.
