I posted a photo earlier today of Eric Bogosian attending the opening night for "A Steady Rain” on Broadway, but I didn’t find out until later that Jeff Goldblum (Law & Order Criminal Intent) and Stephanie March (Law & Order SVU) also attended the same event. Here are photos of Jeff and Stephanie on the red carpet at the Gerald Schoenfeld Theatre in New York City on September 29.

Law & Order: These Are Their “True” Stories
"Ripped from the headlines” is a common theme of many episodes in the Law & Order franchise. One of the sections in the new TV Guide’s Law & Order Special Collector’s issue covers some of these true stories on which some of the Law & Order episodes are based. The section is titled “Stranger Than Fiction” which covers six pages, and is written by freelance writers Jure’ Fiorillo and Kevin Dwyer.
What you may not know about Jure’ and Kevin as they are also behind the web site True Stories of Law & Order and have authored two books, titled “True Stories of Law & Order” and “True Stories of Law & Order: SVU.” The real cases behind the fictional stories are always a frequent topic of discussion with Law & Order fans and True Stories of Law & Order can be a valuable resource for viewers, providing the facts of the real crimes and case updates.
So, after your done reading your Law & Order TV Guide Special Collectors Issue (no fan should be without an issue), make sure to stop by True Stories of Law & Order to find out even more about those “Ripped from the headlines” episodes. (And don’t forget their books!)

Law & Order Criminal Intent Fans Mount Letter Writing Effort
I’ve been alerted that fans of Law & Order Criminal Intent from the CriminalIntent.US form and the Criminal Intent Forum on USA Network’s web site. are leading an effort to write messages to NBCU management to outline their objections to the exits of show stars Vincent D’Onofrio, Kathryn Erbe, and Eric Bogosian.
You can head over to these links on the forums for details:
CriminalIntent.US form
Criminal Intent Forum on USA Network’s web site
The volume of emails that I am receiving on this issue is astounding. Most of them cite their upset with D’Onofrio’s exit. After all, this series began with D’Onofrio at the helm and with Robert Goren’s idiosyncrasies being critical to the resolution of the crime. When I first reported this event as a “disturbance in the Law & Order Criminal Intent force,” I think it is now better defined as a 10.0 earthquake. An effort to express your feelings directly to the network is probably the best way for fans to get their feelings to those that can affect change.

Anthony Anderson Hitting The Talk Shows
Anthony Anderson (Law & Order) was on Late Night with Jimmy Fallon last night. He is also scheduled to be on The Today Show this morning. I think he is the deisgnated promoter of the start of the new season - the 20th - for Law & Order.
The videos of Anthony’s appearance on Jimmy Fallon last night and on the Today Show are below.
Buy the way, Anthony commented that Angie Harmon DID attend the Law & Order 20 year celebration on September 23, , but I have yet to find her in any of the photos. I’m still looking and if I find them I’ll post them.

The Voice: Steve Zirnkilton (Video)
Last February, I did a short feature on Steve Zirnkilton, the man who voices the introduction to each Law & Order franchise episode and I believe the only person besides Dick Wolf that has his name associated with every show in the franchise.
Here’s a video of Steve when he appeared on a recent TV interview with Fox’ Greg Gutfeld, who I must say was highly annoying and didn’t seem to let Steve talk much.

Why Dann Florek Loves College Sports
AnnArbor.com has a feature on Dann Florek (Law & Order SVU) where he talks about his love for college sports. Dann was born in Michigan and attended Eastern Michigan University.
An except from the interview:
MR: What was your favorite memory watching those games and with your dad?
DF: One of the best things was me, my dad, my older brother and my younger brother sitting down and watching it on TV. It was something father and son did together. It became a tradition. My dad is passed away now, but I’ll tell ya what happens. When we watch, like last week, I watched them pull it out against Notre Dame, that (Tate) Forcier kid is amazing. And when that final score hit, I remember jumping up and just saying ‘There ya go, Pop.’ Then I called my brother and left a message for him and my sister sent a little text that said ‘Go Blue.’ So we watch ‘em and have been fans. I guess, also, the first time walking into the Big House. You don’t understand how kind of overwhelming it is. You see it on TV but to actually be in there with, what, 106,000 people, it’s kind of amazing.

S. Epatha Merkerson Chairs Lung Association Christmas Seal Campaign
The American Lung Association has announced that S. Epatha Merkerson (Law & Order) is the 2009 National Celebrity Christmas Seals Chairperson. The program uses stickers, or “seals” to raise funds and raise awareness of the Lung Association's work and desire for everyone to have healthy lungs. This year’s campaign theme is “Celebrate Another Year” and will have a retro look. It sounds like a great cause and it’s wonderful that Epatha will be supporting the effort.

L&O SVU Producer Neal Baer’s “Passion Project” Film
Law & Order SVU Producer Neal Baer helped to bring a documentary film, which he calls his “passion project,” to the big screen. This isn’t just any film, however. “Mozambique” is a film by teenage African AIDS orphan Alcides Soares, and Baer, along with others connected to Law & Order SVU, helped shepherd the film and bring it to theaters, art centers and galleries worldwide as part of the 12th annual Manhattan Short Film Festival. An AP press release says, “Baer, a physician-turned-TV producer long interested in using storytelling to illuminate social and health issues, called on his circle to help with Soares' film. "Law & Order: SVU" stars Mariska Hargitay, Christopher Meloni and the NBC show's writers donated a video camera, and funding came from the NBC Universal and "Law & Order" franchise creator Dick Wolf's Wolf Films…”

Sam Waterston's Informal Cameo at Wedding
I have no clue as to the identity of the couple being married, but Sam Waterston makes an informal appearance in their wedding video. If I could venture a guess, based on his very informal attire, he may have literally stumbled on the event. (Anyone recognize the location? I can't identify the lighthouse.) Either way, I am sure that Sam addicts will get a kick out of it. He appears at about 1:50 and then again at about 2:00.

Linus Roache And His Spiritual Quest
Linus Roache (Law & Order) has a feature in today’s Huffington Post titled “Seeking and Finding” where he talks of his interest in the “bigger mysteries of life” and his spiritual search.
An excerpt:
So it's no surprise that I then began to pick up the spiritual search in earnest. I briefly flirted with some of the new age offerings available in the early 90's and found strength in Buddhism, but ultimately I was looking for something that was not tied to tradition. Part of me wanted to disappear into a cave in India, and I did end up going on retreats there, but don't ask me why, I always felt very strongly that the point for me was to find a way to live a truly spiritual life in the modern day world and be able to work with all the positive aspects of our cultural and technological advancements.
And after several years of seeking I did actually find what I was looking for in the contemporary teaching of Evolutionary Enlightenment. I experienced first hand the transcendent nature of who we are as spirit first, beyond time and the mind, and I knew without any doubt that this dimension of ourselves was ultimately more real than anything else I had previously experienced. It blew my mind! My soul jumped for joy! All my original questions were being answered in the discovery of this consciousness that inherently united everything and everyone and pointed to an incredible potential for humanity. It felt huge and seemed to hold a significance way beyond myself. I didn't really know what I was saying "yes" to at the time but I knew that it was real, it was good and I had the sense that I was coming home....but...and here is the thing, at the same time I knew that I was about a million light years from being at the end of the journey, in fact, it was clear that it was just getting started. My life was upside down and the question now was. How was I going to live according to what I had realized? And do that with integrity? That is something that I have been working on and bumping into for fifteen years now but I am excited to be able share some of my explorations, successes and failures with you in this and future posts.

My life was upside down and the question now was. How was I going to live according to what I had realized? And do that with integrity? That is something that I have been working on and bumping into for fifteen years now but I am excited to be able share some of my explorations, successes and failures with you in this and future posts.

Vincent D’Onofrio Heads Utah Police Fundraiser
The Salt Lake Tribune is reporting that Vincent D’Onofrio (Law & Order Criminal Intent) will head a September 18th fundraiser to benefit Utah police who claim that methamphetamine sickened them via their work exposure to meth labs or the drug itself. The goal is to raise money for detoxification treatments for the affected officers.
The story also reports that “D'Onofrio's sister and brother-in-law opened a Rib City franchise in Sandy in 2007 and later another franchise in American Fork. The Sandy restaurant closed earlier this year. Last year, D'Onofrio held fund raisers at both restaurants to raise money for such police causes as "Shop With a Cop" and a memorial for officers killed in the line of duty.”

Jerry Orbach Book Release, Tribute Planned for November
A special tribute is planned for Law & Order’s beloved Jerry Orbach, to coincide with the posthumous release of the book “Remember How I Love You: Love Letters from an Extraordinary Marriage” which is Jerry and his wife Elaine Orbach's autobiographical memoir, which recounts their thirty year marriage. The book includes a forward by Sam Waterston. The event will take place at The Snapple Theater Center on Monday, November 9, 2009 at 5:30 PM.
Broadway World reports that
Each morning before leaving their Hell's Kitchen apartment to report to the set of Law & Order, Jerry wrote Elaine a short poem for her to find upon waking. The poems were humorous, sweet and topical, focusing on the couple's morning rituals, their daily routine - whatever was on Jerry's mind. Combined, they tell the story of a marriage full of life and love. Elaine stored the poems in a soup tureen given to them by David Merrick and upon Jerry's death in 2004 began gathering her favorites into the collection that would eventually become Remember How I Love You. Elaine herself passed away unexpectedly on April 1, 2009 just as the book was completed.
At the event, a number of Jerry and Elaine's colleagues and friends will read select poems from the book including Alan Alda, Kelly Bishop, Lorraine Bracco, Jesse L. Martin, Donna McKechnie, Chita Rivera and Jerry Stiller, with more names to be announced. In addition, copies of the book signed by the participating celebrities will be sold with all proceeds benefitting Bideawee and The Eye-Bank for Sight Restoration, Jerry and Elaine's favorite charities.
A limited number of advance premium tickets are now on sale and can be purchased for $50 each - with all proceeds benefitting Bideawee and The Eye-Bank - by calling The Snapple Theater Center box office at (212) 921-7862. In addition, 100 free tickets will be distributed to the public at The Snapple Theater Center box office beginning at 10 AM on the day of the event, with a maximum number of two tickets per person allowed. The Snapple Theater Center is located at 210 West 50th Street at Broadway.
The full article, which includes the story behind the book, Jerry and Elaine’s careers, details about the event and the benefitting charities, can be found at Broadway World.
