Where Are They Now: The Original Cast of ‘Law & Order’

The police who investigate crime and the district attorneys who prosecute the offenders began their work on Sept. 13, 1990!

Chris Noth

Though he got fired from the show after the fifth season, Chris, 59, acquitted himself well reprising Det. Mike Logan on Law & Order: Criminal Intent, as well as starring as Mr. Big on Sex and the City, Gov. Florrick on The Good Wife and in Broadway revivals of "The Best Man" and "That Championship Season."

Michael Moriarty

Following four years as Executive DA Ben Stone, Michael, 73, moved to Canada, battled the bottle, played jazz piano and wrote conservative blogs. He's also starred on Broadway in "My Fair Lady," in the film Shiloh and in the TV biopic James Dean, for which he won an Emmy (as the father of James Franco's Dean).

Richard Brooks

After three seasons as ADA Paul Robinette, Richard, 51, courted many opportunities — founding his own production company, releasing an R&B album, starring in and directing the politically-themed indie movie Johnny B Good and acting on Firefly, NCIS and his current BET series, Being Mary Jane.

George Dzundza

Sgt. Max Greevey got gunned down to start Law & Order's second season, but George, who turned 69 on July 19, saw it as a shot to do movies, including Basic Instinct and Dangerous Minds, TV shows Jesse and Grey's Anatomy and even the voice of Perry White on Superman: The Animated Series.
