Between cleaning up the streets and helping ratings rebound, Jeremy Sisto has been busy on Law & Order (Wednesdays at 10 pm/ET, NBC). We caught up with the L&O newbie to talk about Detective Lupo’s future, his Six Feet Under pals and his weakness for poker.
TV Guide: You're known for playing complicated characters. Are we going to see Detective Lupo's dark side anytime soon?Jeremy Sisto: I'd love to have a big breakdown episode, but I don’t know if that's in the cards.

Cyrus Lupo and Linus Roache as Chief Assistant DA Michael Cutter. The Sisto-and-Martin team has a free-flowing ease not seen since the days of the beloved

Cheers to Jeremy Sisto for getting back on solid dramatic ground as Det. Cyrus Lupo on Law & Order. The ex- Six Feet Under nutjob took a misstep by trying comedy with a recurring role on TBS' My Boys, but he fits right into NBC's gritty urban drama as Jesse L. Martin's brooding new partner. Sisto's certainly an improvement on his predecessor, Milena Govich, who strained credulity as "beauty queen" cop Nina Cassady. Case closed.
