Jerry Orbach obit Jerry Orbach dead at 69 Wednesday, December 29, 2004 Posted: 10:39 AM EST (1539 GMT) NEW YORK (AP) -- "Law & Order" star Jerry Orbach has died of prostate cancer at 69, a representative of the show said Wednesday. Orbach died Tuesday night in Manhattan after several weeks of treatment, Audrey Davis of the public relations agency Lippin Group said. When his illness was diagnosed, he had begun production on NBC's upcoming spinoff "Law & Order: Trial By Jury," after 12 seasons playing Detective Lennie Briscoe in the original series. His return to the new show had been expected early next year. On Broadway, the Bronx-born Orbach starred in hit musicals including "Carnival," "Promises, Promises" (for which he won a Tony Award), "Chicago" and "42nd Street." Among his film appearances were roles in "Dirty Dancing," "Prince of the City" and "Crimes and Misdemeanors."

In December, it was revealed that Orbach was suffering from cancer, leaving the drama to work around his treatment schedule. At the time, Orbach's people were optimistic about his recovery.

Re: Jerry Orbach obit LAW & ORDER MARATHON Scheduled to air on TNT network on January 2, 2005 (this was planned before Jerry's death) but i thought it would be a good way to honor his memory. NBC put this on their website Remembering Jerry Orbach 1935-2004 And Tonight Broadway will be dimming their lights in his memory.
Re: Jerry Orbach obit Wow, unbelieveable. Last year, a buddy of mine got to play cards with him in Atlantic City.
Re: L&O SVU & Trial By Jury News Found these at Tv Guide Online Question: Hey, I just read "The Ausiello Report" in the new issue of TV Guide magazine and I was psyched to learn that Stephanie March is returning to Law & Order: SVU in February! Any chance she might stick around? Ausiello: Sadly, it's just for the one episode. But exec producer Neal Baer isn't ruling out another Alex Cabot sighting down the line, so keep your fingers crossed. (No worries, Mariska, you're still my favorite.) =========== REMEMBERED: Broadway theaters dimmed their lights Wednesday night to honor song-and-dance man-turned-Law & Order star Jerry Orbach, who died Tuesday of prostate cancer. "He was an anchor who brought style, security and razzle-dazzle to our original Chicago company," said Chita Rivera, Orbach's costar in the 1975 production. "He was a swell guy." Orbach's long-time Law & Order co-star, S. Epatha Merkerson, remembered him as a "real good guy" who "had a real lust for life and the work he did, and it permeated throughout the set." NBC, meanwhile, says production of Law & Order: Trial by Jury, the franchise's latest spin-off, will proceed despite Orbach's passing. "The producers are deeply saddened," a spokesperson for the show says. "While Jerry is irreplaceable, Trial by Jury is an ensemble and will continue in production. A new member will join the company. Announcements will be forthcoming." Six episodes of Jury have already been shot; at least three of them will feature Orbach's Detective Lennie Briscoe character. The show, which also stars Bebe Neuwirth and Amy Carlson, is slated to debut in March. ===== Entire Cast of Trial By Jury: Jerry Orbach = D.A. Investigator Lennie Briscoe Kirk Acevedo = D.A.
