Adding his name to the list of people who’ve come and gone from the cast of “Law & Order,” Dennis Farina – who plays Detective Joe Fontana – has announced that he will be leaving the show.
But, then, this is a show with a constantly rotating cast, and it has been from the get-go. Farina came on to replace the late Jerry Orbach’s character, Detective Lenny Briscoe…and Briscoe came in to replace Detective Phil Cerreta, who was played by Paul Sorvino. (And, lest we forget, Sorvino replaced George Dzundza, who played Detective Max Greevey.)
Who’ll be the next in line…? Time will tell.
