    He was great but I miss Jerry Orbach, even though I know it’s been 20 years.

    I’ve been rewatching Law & Order over the last few months and it hits different. A good portion of the actors have passed. Almost everyone is old or middle aged now. Also, the writing was 5 times better back then. Overall, the show makes me feel old, but it’s also comfort food.

    Grace and Frankie was one of the best comedy series of all time...Sam and Martin were so great in that show as well

    The first time I watched Sam Waterston was in the Movie "Man in the Moon", he is so talented and versatile. A man who's talent shines through in any role he steps into, I thank you Sam, I look forward to seeing you again soon in a new role. A life well lived and expressed dedication in each character you have portrayed.
