Jesus Christ, How Many Famous Actors Have Appeared on Law & Order?

Latest

When a show has been on as long as the Law & Order franchise has (Law & Order: OG has been on since 1990) it makes sense to assume that a fair share of actors would have trod their dusty precinct boards, but do you have any idea just how many of the L & O victims, suspects and defense lawyers have gone on to have huge film and television careers?
