 Jesse L. Martin: Quitting "Law & Order"
Jesse L. Martin, a nine-year veteran of "Law & Order" is quitting the long-running NBC drama. He will be replaced by Anthony Anderson.
According to a source, Jesse L. Martin, 39 will portray one more episode of the series, in which his character, Detective Ed Green, will be written off. He had signed on to do the first 13 episodes this season with an option for more.
Jesse L. Martin, who recently wrapped the feature "Peter and Vandy," next is set to portray Marvin Gaye in the biopic "Sexual Healing," which is expected to begin production in late April or early May.
Anthony Anderson will play a new detective along with Jeremy Sisto's Cyrus Lupo, who joined the revolving lineup this season. Anderson has already appeared as a cop on an episode of the spinoff "Law & Order: SVU."
"Law & Order" continues Anderson's streak of dramatic roles, including FX's "The Shield," Martin Scorsese's "The Departed" and, most recently, Fox's gritty cop drama "K-Ville," for which he landed an Image Award nomination. His feature credits also "Barbershop" and "Hustle & Flow." |
