I really liked him. His cancer must have been really advanced when they found it, because prostate is usually curable.

7. When they made it public that he had prostate cancer |
|
They said that they expected him to be fine. He was supposed to be in yet another L&O Show...the retired Lenny doing PI work or whatever.

My wife, for a time, was a big L&O fan. That probably explains why he left the show last year.

11. Born to play a TV detective-great actor |
|
He and Dennis Franz both look so much the part (Franz origially on "Hill Street Blues") that it was very easy to actually see them doing that.
I was never a big Law and Order fan(too dark and too slow) but Orbach was an outstanding actor.

Law & Order has always been one of my favorite shows, and Jerry was just fabulous in it.
I'll also remember him from "Beauty and the Beast".
He'll be missed.

21. I loved him as the dad in "Dirty Dancing." |
|
Yeah, yeah, it was a cheesy movie. I like it anyway, and he was great as Baby's father.
He was also the voice of Lumiere in "Beauty And The Beast."

A true versatile talent.

He's been shooting a new law and order with my best friend. I always thought he was so great. Very sad.
EDIT: Not sur if he actually was able to do any shooting, or was just slated to. I'm gonna call and find out.

awww, man, not Jerry! What a magnificent talent!
I was already planning on watching some of the Sunday L&O marathon on TNT, but now I will be watching ALL of it. See if there's any kind of tribute or anything.
All the best wishes to his family and his loved ones. And many prayers & thanks to him for so many years of giving his talent to us for enjoyment. You always hear that he was a kind and decent man. Thank you, Jerry! O8)

One of my favorite actors. Not just because of Law & Order, but roles in off-the-wall small budgest capers like "FX".
One of the good guys.

He was a great actor. One of the most realistic cops I have ever seen on TV.
May he rest in peace.
