Those are really good pictures.
He was the only good one in the play, and oh, he was brilliant!!!
Great inside joke...in the L&O episode entitled "Knock Off," Jack McCoy has an argument with the Governor in which the Governor responds to one of Jack's protestations: "..quit playing Hamlet!"...
Funny because not only is Sam Waterston famous for his performance as Hamlet at NYC's Shakespeare in the Park in the 70s but he also played Polonius in the recent SITP production--the summer before this episode (which first aired 3 December 2008)...
Great site, by the way!
