Jesse L. Martin would totally be down to come back for the Law & Order revival, hint hint
Martin's Ed Green was one of the longest-tenured detectives in the series' history.
To date, the casting on NBC’s Law & Order revival has been a calculated mixture of the old and the new. On the one hand, you’ve got Anthony Anderson and Sam Waterston returning to a series that was long synonymous with, well, one of their careers. (Not to throw shade on Anderson, but two seasons and some change just can’t stack up against the legendary tenure of DA Jack McCoy.) Meanwhile, the series is also set to inject some new blood into its roster (albeit new blood who often appeared on old Law & Orders), in the form of Hugh Dancy, Odelya Halevi, Jeffrey Donovan, and Camryn Manheim.
But what about all those other detectives and D.A.s that filtered through the series over the years, eventually felled by contract negotiations or lack of on-screen chemistry or, possibly, because they were a lesbian? What, specifically, of Jesse L. Martin’s Ed Green, one of the longest-tenured detectives in the show’s history?
