See ya, Lenny!

It’s Time For Jerry Orbach’s Last ‘Law and Order’
AS Detective Lenny Briscoe, Jerry Orbach has anchored the entire “L&O” franchise since its premiere 12 years ago. And though the original installment has suffered from cast defections – Chris Noth and Benjamin Bratt are alumni, and who misses them? – fans have gone into near-apoplexy at the thought of an episode without the peerlessly droll Orbach, whose last episode airs Wednesday at 9 p.m. Not to worry: He’s leaving to star in Dick Wolf’s 38th addition to the franchise, “Law and Order: Trial by Jury.”
