| Way OT, but if you're an L&O junkie like me who loved his gruff 'Lenny' character, then you're as shocked, saddened, and stunned as I am. |

| #7 W! Lennieeeee! He must have gone downhill really fast, since he was set to star in a new Lawn Order spinoff. In the immortal words of Slim Pickens: "I am depressed." |

| #6 About 8 years ago, my son - then about 10 - had a bit part in a L&O episode. His character was promised a "junior deputy" certificate by "Lenny" - and darned if Orbach didn't have one made up for him! Found out later that a good friend of ours had, many years earlier, toured with him with a Broadway play (the Fantastics?) when she was just starting out. Never heard a bad word about him. RIP |

| #5 Dang. I always liked 'Lenny'; he seemed to be the most real cop on a cop show out there (way better than NYPD Blue, IMHO). Given that L&O would not let him develop the character except for a little here, a little there, Orbach was able to fill in all the blanks and show us what a cop could look like. RIP, Jerry, and thanks for the acting. |

| #4 Please get your PSA check staring with a baseline in your early 40's. No one need die from Prostate cancer. RIP Mr Orbach. |
