"Retiring Tennessee Sen. Fred Thompson may be resuming his acting career.

Pending final negotiations, he will play the district attorney on NBC's Law & Order, replacing Dianne Wiest, who left after two seasons.

Spokesmen at Thompson's Washington office, at NBC and at Universal Studios, which distributes Law & Order, declined to comment on a story that appeared yesterday in The Hollywood Reporter saying Thompson will join the cast of the show. A spokesman for Universal Network Television did say no deal is done — yet.

If Thompson signs, he could end up acting and legislating at the same time. The series, entering its 13th year on NBC, is in production for the fall season. The senator's term officially ends in mid-January when his successor is sworn in, although Congress hopes to recess this year Oct. 4.

His movie roles have included Marie, In the Line of Fire, The Hunt for Red October and Baby's Day Out."

Just shut up and bring back Adam Schiff, you fuckers.

No shit. And while you're at it, bring back Abbie Carmichael. I like Angie.............. :)

Yeah, you would. *sticking out tongue*

I hated Carmichael at first, but she grew on me. As soon as I got used to her, she left.

Ya, Adam Schiff rocked. He was such a cool cranky old man. When I grow up, I want to be that kind of cranky old man.

They also need to dump that new ADA woman. Something about her acting annoys me.

What acting?

I miss the days when the ADA was actually a character, as opposed to the latest It Girl... Jill Hennessey and Carey Lowell rocked my socks.

My 18 month old daughter has been watching since she was three months old. The theme song will stop her in her tracks. Seriously. It's great when people are over to see it, no one really believes us.

I miss Adam.

She can also speak in sentences (when she wants to) which they say is unusual for an 18 month old. Maybe it's all the Law and Order and Bear in the Big Blue House combo.

DAMN I love that show. I TiVo like 3 episodes a day usually. But these days I'm getting an awful lot of repeats. But Fred will be good for the show. "A Russian won't take a dump without a plan."
