Law & Order: L.A. Casts Skeet Ulrich
Bad news, James Van Der Beek fans and board members of the Dean Cain Fan Club. It looks like Law & Order: Los Angeles has finally found its leading man: Former Jericho star Skeet Ulrich. The Poor Man's Johnny Depp will star as Rex Winters, an ex-marine with a porn-ready name whose experiences during the Rodney King riots "shaped his philosophy on policing." He's also married to his ex-partner. Issues! Of course, Ulrich's current partner hasn't been cast yet, but that just means there's still a chance it could be Master P. Or Danica McKellar. Get on this, NBC. [EW]

Oh dear. Somewhere in Burbank there is a direct-to-rental script that will now go back into the slush-pile. Unless Stephen Dorff's agent returns a call . . .
YES! Now my autographed copy of Chill Factor is worth something again!
Oh.
And Dean Winters is stuck doing Allstate commercials.
Whatever.
Awesome get! What'd you pay Skeet for it on eBay?
i actually love skeet ulrich, and must now rearrange my work schedule (I work at night) to watch this show. sorry, haters!
Angela, I agree. I love him an unreasonable amount. And now I'm going to have to watch stupid Law & Order, and I'll probably end up calling it LOLA which will make me want to kick my own ass. Thanks, Hollywood.
