This totally caught me off gaurd. Though I didn't know that he had prostate cancer. He was 69.

Wasn't he supposed to "un-retire" and be on another L&O spinoff sometime soon? Pretty sad, I remember the last episode he was on.

The candles have gone out.

 

[heavy liquid]

Damn. That sucks. I guess that's why he left the show last season.

 

[MacGuffin]

WEAK!! He was the best detective they had. The new guy wanks too. Sorry to lose Jerry.

 

[mattiewheels]

Whoa. That guy was cool. I saw him on Conan one night and he seemed so damn cool and funny. When I went to NYC in February, I was walking in the village and they were filming Law and Order on the street and he was one of the actors out there. Even got a bad picture of it:

 

[Flakster99]

Now he was one of my favorite actors on TV sitcoms. /salute

 

[BojTrek]

Nobody puts baby in a coffin... I thought he was a very good actor, he looks like my uncles father...

Yeah I think you're right... that sucks he was great on L&O.

Yeah he was going to play a PI on the show. It would have been a sporatic role not every episode. This fucking sucks he was a pretty good actor.

 

[Xenon]

that sucks he was great on L&O

He was Law and Order. =(

 

[AlphaSnake]

Aww, man. That's one of my favoirte shows. This is terrible.. =(

 

[evil solrac v3.0]

he was a local guy too. from the bronx.

 

[belgurdo]

Title fix: Law and Order Dead

 

[Teknopathetic]

. I totally dig Law and Order.

Damn, beat me to it.

I'll always remember him in FX (the film, not the channel) first for some reason.

[Eric-GCA]

WTF? :lol

 

[Fresh Prince]

RIP. He was really good in the role of old jaded cop.

 

[Great Wasabi Man]

my gf just sent me that.....

........


:'(

He wnet for testing for prostate cancer a few months ago.....this is very sad news.

 

[MASB]

Well this is sad. I really liked him in his various roles. Now no more great one-liners on Law and Order.

On double murder: "Now that's what I call a two for one special!"

Murder in hotel: "They check in, but they don't check out!"

 

[Eric-GCA]

Pushes a woman into the car: "Careful, we wouldn't want to hurt that hat!"

:lol

man, he'll be missed.

 

[Mejilan]

Best reason to watch that show!

I hope he went peacefully and fulfilled.

*bows head*

 

[jobbidiar]

He was Law and Order. =(

Very true

 

[ohamsie]

At least Law and Order Vanilla still has Jack McCoy, otherwise it's SVU for me. It was sad when they had Jerry Orbach's character retire.
