Jerry Orbach, 69; Actor Portrayed Det. Briscoe on TV’s “Law & Order”
Jerry Orbach, the Tony Award-winning Broadway musical star who achieved his widest fame on television playing sardonic New York City police detective Lennie Briscoe for 12 years on NBC’s acclaimed series “Law & Order,” has died. He was 69.
The Bronx-born Orbach, whose film and television work earned him a reputation for playing the quintessential New Yorker, died of prostate cancer Tuesday night in a Manhattan hospital, said his agent, Robert Malcolm.
Although the New York Daily News first reported on Dec. 2 that Orbach had been undergoing treatment for prostate cancer since last spring, Malcolm told The Times on Wednesday that the actor had been fighting the disease for more than 10 years.
“He’s obviously been working through bad times and good times,” Malcolm said. “He was a tremendous fighter.”
Malcolm said Orbach, who began a new round of chemotherapy last spring, told the cast and crew of “Law & Order” that he had prostate cancer in April before leaving the show to play Briscoe in an upcoming spinoff series, “Law & Order: Trial by Jury.”
The show, featuring an ensemble cast that includes Bebe Neuwirth, is scheduled to debut next year. Orbach will appear in some early episodes.
