Dennis Farina to Bid Adieu to ‘Law and Order’
According to the Associated Press, Dennis Farina, who has portrayed New York Police Detective Joe Fontana on the original Law & Order series for the past two years, is departing the show “to pursue other offers and projects being developed by his production company.”
Well, after they killed off the latest Assistant District Attorney, Alexandra Borgia (played by Annie Parisse) in what seems like a very brief one season, a second departure ain’t too surprising on Law & Order. Heck, what would be more astounding these days is if any of the actors stayed in their role for more than a year or two, given the frequent changeovers.
Arrivederci, Mr. Farina—your hard-nosed approach was “arresting” while it lasted.
