In major “Law & Order” news, stalwart Sam Waterston is stepping down as District Attorney Jack McCoy on the NBC drama, NBC announced on Friday.
“Scandal” star Tony Goldwyn has been cast as the new district attorney, who will presumably oversee the current prosecutor Nolan Price, played by Hugh Dancy.
Waterston’s last episode will air Feb. 22.
In a statement released by Wolf Entertainment, Waterston wrote, “The time has come for me to move on and take Jack McCoy with me. There’s sadness in leaving, but I’m just too curious about what’s next. An actor doesn’t want to let himself get too comfortable.”
