Goodbye, Lenny
Posted on January 3rd, 2005 by Brian Corbino
I’m late. So sue me.
Was getting lunch on Wednesday (12/29) when I heard the news. Jerry Orbach had died. Prostate cancer. I never knew. Jerry had done many things, but to me, he will always be Detective Lenny Briscoe. Lenny had an edge that you knew could only come from years on the street. And you could always count on Lenny for the good zingers. I was actually saddened by his departure from Law & Order. It felt like a member of my family was leaving, never to return.
And now he’s gone. Another light gone dark.
Rest in peace, Jerry. We will miss you.
