L&O Signs Vet, Intent Stars; But Who's the New ADA?
Jesse L. Martin has renegotiated his contract to return to
Law & Order for a minimum of 13 episodes, says the
New York Post. Similarly, FoxNews.com says that
Criminal Intent's
Vincent D'Onofrio and
Chris Noth (and Ms. Erbe, I have to imagine) have agreed to the
previously reported salary freezes, keeping their haul at $350K for each of the 11 episodes they shoot.
Meanwhile, with
Sam Waterston's Jack McCoy stepping up to replace Fred Thompson's Arthur Branch, the question is who will serve as the mother ship's ADA. Fox hears that L.A.-based
West Winger
Bradley Whitford is on the short list, but likely commands far too high a payday for the belt-tightening series.
