Quick question for the "Law & Order: Criminal Intent" fans out there, however many may be reading this blog: were you at all distracted during last night's episode by Dean Winters playing a cop who wasn't his character from "SVU"?
Now, I know that the "L&O" franchise recycles actors all the time, and that on very rare occasions (Jerry Orbach as a lawyer a few years before he was cast as Briscoe), you'll even see recycling happen with a regular castmember, and, for that matter, that Winters was on "SVU" for all of five seconds. But this is the first time I can remember a former regular coming back to the franchise (albeit not the same show) playing an entirely different role, and, like Rich Heldenfels, I spent a decent chunk of last night's episode wondering whether Winters was, in fact, playing a new character of if he was still playing Brian Cassidy, undercover and using a fake name in a complicated sting on Goren.
Just curious if I was the only one anal enough to be bothered even slightly.
