Chevy Chase as “Mel Gibson” on L&O. Just kidding! He was terrible.
David Groh (Rhoda’s ex) has had a couple of great turns on L&O.
Denis O’Hare, Elaine Stritch, Jeffrey DeMunn, Michael Nouri, Joe Morton and Martin Campbell have also made solid turns on the various shows
I’m with you Ang Knee on the Boston Legal thing, where’s the love popwatch?
But, to the question at hand, I agree with Ellen Pompeo and Marcia Gay Harden, particularly that first episode where we meet her and the shooting goes down in the courtroom, that was excellent tv! I also liked *what’s his name* in the episode with the “Kashitis.” I can’t remember who it is (which is sad), but it was the episode with the guy who went off his meds and kidnapped a little boy cuz the voices in his head told him so. He was great.
Oh, and Lou Diamond Phillips, he was FANTASTIC!
Did they rip off Primal Fear or what? Was that $350,000 worth of acting for each of the leads? It appreaed to be the same old thing to me. They must not be able to afford good writers anymore. For my time I go with House.
Cynthia Nixon was incredible Tuesday night. Wish she had her own show again. Olivia D’Abo on Criminal Intent, Lucy Arnaz on Law & Order, and Blair Underwood and Michael Michele on SVU – that was one of the most disturbing episodes I have ever seen.
Vincent Donofrio was THOR?????? Wow. You really DO learn something new everyday.
For what it’s worth, I enjoyed Andrew McCarthy on SVU a few years ago. He does extra super-icky surprisingly well.
No contest, MARTIN SHORT!!!!!
Do people not remember Bob Saget and his character implanting an RFID chip in his wife’s arm to catch her cheating. THAT was a good cameo. And Ludacris. I know there are plenty of others, but I’ve seen these two most recently.
Chad Lowe. The scene where his character breaks down, acting out what his mother, excellent Margot Kidder, did to him, was scary. And I mean scary in the giving-you-goosebumps-it’s-so-awesome way.
I immediately thought of when Andrew McCarthy guest-starred in the 2nd season of SVU–I still get chills when I remember him in that episode (the one where he hid the girl in a box built under the bed).
Loved the two episodes with Larry Miller as Michael Dobson. Hired someone to kill his first wife and then fought to keep her on life support so they couldn’t pull the bullet. Then he comes the next season and asks Jerry Orbach “where’s the other guy?” – Chris Noth left, Benjamin Bratt came on. Its a great nod to how they love to re-use actors and characters.
Marcia Gay Harden was very good in her role. I also enjoyed Ludacris and Lisa Gay Hamilton.
Loved Larry Miller as Dobson too! Those are my favorite eps ever! He was great. Also enjoyed Mark-Paul Gosselaer (of Saved by the Bell & NYPD Blue fame) as the desperate father doing porn to pay his kid’s medical bills.
I have to agree with those who said Andrew McCarthy’s guest appearance on “SVU.”
He was so super-creepy, and I just remember him in the interrogation room: “Honey, I’d like a mineral water, no ice.” Benson: “And I’d like your b***s in a blender, but ain’t life a b***h?”
chad lowe – amazing and so creepy
ellen pompeo as the incestuous, killer sister
claire danes in a very early original l&o episode was great as a scored teenager that kills her much older, sleezebag photog lover
