Jerry Orbach Died

Via OTB. His most famous role, of course, was detective Lenny Briscoe on Law and Order (12 seasons).

I loved him, and I can't believe this happened. He was relatively young, too. Fucking cancer, snatching people away before their time.

He was a great pool player, and I do hope there are pool tables in heaven.

Goodbye, Mr. Orbach.

1 Yes, but thankfully cancer takes idiots like Sontag...

2 He was a great pool player, and I do hope there are pool tables in heaven. SPOILER ALERT Made me think of the scene at the end of Homicide: The Movie, where Al 'Gee' Giardello dies and goes to what is apparently heaven. There's some colleagues, who have preceded him in death, at the station playing cards, and he joins them in the game.
