Jerry Orbach slips out the back door

I suppose it's fitting that Jerry Orbach would die in such a quiet way, with no build-up, no hype, and little warning. The announcement of his death today is a lot like the way he left Law & Order after 12 years on the show. He pretty much just gathered his stuff together and walked out the door one day.

Note that before his TV career, Orbach was a veteran of the stage, having starred in the original productions of Chicago on Broadway and The Fantasticks off-Broadway, among others.

Here's a shot of him appearing on Celebrity Jeopardy.

[sniff] He was one of the good ones.
