For two decades, Law & Order ruled over procedural dramas. The series, which centered on “two separate, yet equally important groups” — the police and the district attorneys of New York City, has had a long-lasting influence over American primetime television. Over the course of its 20-year run, Law & Order has been responsible for launching seven spin-off series and a TV movie. It’s also launched the careers of dozens of stars. With nearly every episode focusing on a new crime, the number of actors who appeared on the show was astounding. Even series regulars would generally only have a season or two before their characters were replaced. But why’d they really quit? Here’s the reason behind some of the biggest Law & Order stars’ departures. #LawAndOrder #TVShow #Actors Chris Noth couldn't get paid | 0:00 Benjamin Bratt wanted family time | 1:16 Fred Thompson ran for president | 1:59 Michael Moriarty fought censorship | 3:14 Jesse Martin went to Broadway | 4:19 George Dzundza didn't like commuting | 5:14 Jerry Orbach jumped shows | 5:58 Dann Florek and Richard Brooks | 7:00 Not enough for Jill Hennessy | 8:08 Elizabeth Rohm planned dramatic exit | 8:57 Paul Sorvino left to sing | 9:56 Angie Harmon left for movies | 10:51
