Logan was a homicide detective in the 27th Precinct in Manhattan. Born into a working class Irish Catholic family, Logan had a dysfunctional childhood rife with abuse, both physical (from his mentally unstable, alcoholic mother) and sexual (from his parish priest, whom he confronted and brought to justice years later). When he was a young man, his pregnant girlfriend had an abortion against his wishes. He spent many years repressing these traumas, hiding behind a cocky, chauvinistic facade which he rarely let slip. His represse ...

The show's popularity has resulted in a Law & Order franchise with the creation of three other television dramas under the same brand: Law & Order: Special Victims Unit (1999), and Law & Order: Criminal Intent (2001). These two shows focus more on the police side of a case. A short-lived spinoff, Law & Order: Trial by Jury (2005), which lasted only 12 episodes, focused almost entirely on courtroom drama, but was pulled off due to low ratings, becoming the first series of the franchise to be cancelled. The pilot episode "Everybod ...

The show follows a small team of New York City detectives who investigate a serious crime, usually murder. Generally, about halfway through the hour-long program the focus shifts from the investigation of the crime to the prosecution of the offender, which is always handed over to the same small team of lawyers from the Manhattan District Attorney's office. The two-tiered format of the program is almost identical to a 1960s series entitled Arrest and Trial, although the similarities are considered to be coincidental. Law &am ...

Last name is pronounced "Duh-noff-ree-o". D'Onofrio portrayed Orson Welles in the Tim Burton movie Ed Wood. Burton disliked D'Onofrio's vocal impression of Welles, so Burton overdubbed a digital combination of D'Onofrio's voice and the voice of Maurice LaMarche, a voice actor particularly noted for his impression of Orson Welles. He played the same character, Bill Newman, an eyewitness to John F. Kennedy's murder, in two unrelated films: JFK and Malcolm X. ...
