Jerry Orbach: 1935-2004

The lights on Broadway will be dimmed tonight in his honor.

An interview that covers his extensive career.

His Playbill obituary.

For those who only knew him as Lennie Briscoe from Law & Order, I offer this recording of Jerry as El Gallo, from the original production of The Fantasticks. Right-click and save.

Deep in December, it's nice to remember
although you know the snow will follow;

deep in December it's nice to remember:
without the hurt, the heart is hollow.

Deep in December it's nice to remember
the fire of September that made us mellow.

Deep in December our hearts should remember and follow.


R.I.P. Jerry.

Thank you for this; I've loved Orbach since I was six and discovered the LP of The Fantasticks in my parents' collection.

You're welcome. And yes; I got to see him live in 42nd Street and have always loved his voice.
