Poor Skeet Ulrich. Already the butt of many a “failed movie career” joke, the actor will now have to deal with “failed TV career” jokes. Skeet just got fired from Law & Order LA, not even getting to finish the first season. And who will replace him as cueball Corey Stoll‘s partner in crime detection? Alfred Molina! No offense to Skeet, but that’s undoubtedly a step up the acting evolutionary scale.
But wait…isn’t Molina already on the cast as an Assistant District Attorney? Seems the plan is for Molina’s Ricardo Morales to reveal that he was a cop for 15 years…and apparently he’d like his old job back! This will allow fellow ADA Terrence Howard to appear in more episodes. The show’s legal side will also be losing Regina Hall and Megan Boone—whether this bloodletting will actually improve the show’s standing, we must admit we’re more inclined to see a show without Skeet Ulrich than a show with Skeet Ulrich.
