Law & Order: CI Gets New Stars

For those of you that watch the show, series regular Vince D'onofrio was having severe health problems when filming this past season so they decided to bring in a new detective to lighten his filming load and make the story more interesting. Former Law and Order star Chris Noth who played Mike Logan was already set to take Vince's place with Kathryn Erbe as a sub detective but I guess with this piece of news they are going for a new team to make the show a little more fresh.

Annabella Sciorra has been tapped as the female lead opposite Chris Noth on NBC's Law & Order: Criminal Intent, says The Hollywood Reporter.

On the Wolf Films/NBC Universal TV Studio series, Sciorra will play Detective Carolyn Barek, Detective Mike Logan's (Noth) partner.

In the show's fifth season next fall, Noth and Sciorra will alternate with "Criminal Intent's" current series stars, Vincent D'Onofrio (Detective Robert Goren) and Kathryn Erbe (Detective Alex Eames), with each pair fronting 11 of the 22 episodes.

Having seen many of Sciorra's movies I know she pull this type of gig off. I think this show just became the A+ show of Law and Order. I am sure going to mark this on my list of must see tv this coming season.
