Yes, mock me for my obsessions...

I was just on the phone with Mom and mentioned tonight's impending departure of a cast member from Law and Order: Special Victims Unit.

Mom: Is that who it is? I saw the promo where the car blew up and I said "Please don't let it be Munch, I don't know if Kelly can handle it right now."

Max Greevey (George Dzunzda) was the senior detective in the first season, killed in the second season premiere and replaced by Phil Cerreta (Paul Sorvino).

Now that you mention it, I do remember Claire's dad, and Lt. Van Buren's husband, though not her kids.

I saw the first crossover, with the white supremacist bomber (played by the actor who now plays Dr. Skoda), where Munch and Briscoe shoot pool, or rather, Briscoe whips Munch's ass. And it was re-visited in the second crossover, where Briscoe mentions Munch's ex again...

Yup. I get a huge kick out of Munch and Briscoe's scenes together. And I keep meaning to write a Law and Order: SVU parody with all the characters played by actors who also play characters on Oz doing double-takes at each other.

I never saw Oz (no HBO), but from what I recall, a friend of mine simply could not watch SVU because he couldn't see Det. Stabler as a cop, after seeing him on Oz.

I will see Oz one of these days. I'll rent it or something. I completely expect it to fuck with my head, tho. scarcrest says he occasionally gets creeped out seeing Stabler after seeing Meloni play a very different character on Oz.

If you think the Chris Meloni switchover will fuck with your head... you can't even imagine the level of creeped-out fucked-up horror you'll experience with the character that Dr. Skoda plays on Oz, Schillinger. Can't. even. imagine.

Sometimes, still, after watching Oz for over three years, when Dr. Skoda appears (particularly after watching an episode of Oz) I get the willies for a moment. And then I remind myself that I like Dr. Skoda--and that it's Schillinger that I despise.

Still, he's a fantastic actor to play two such polar opposite roles.
