Jerry Orbach


That scene when Levy goes busting into Polito's office took me completely by surprise. All of a sudden I see Jerry Orbach flip the desk upside down and rough up the guy. I never saw Jerry Orbach like that before. Good tough guy scene for Jerry.

I would have liked to have seen more of Jerry over the years. He's really good as the NY tough guy cop or quasi gangster. He was great in Crimes and Misdemeanors.



"Boy that was really exciting. I bet you're a big Lee Marvin fan aren't ya."

Such a great scene. “At least get me for assault!”

RIP Jerry

I question the realism of that scene though. Would the ADA let him get away with that?

In real life? Probably not. In a fictional story? Sure, why not?
