The stereotypical old white Irish cop on law and order is another. His name escapes me at the moment...
Lennie Briscoe, played by Jerry Orbach. He was an uncle of one of my good friends. Decent fella in real life from what I've heard. Never got to meet him."
Lennie Briscoe, was not (apology) 'Irish'. He was Jewish. Yes, he was the old cop to the younger and Irish Logan. Later, another mustachioed fellow, was a nickel plated revolver wielder.
Jerry Ohrbach, was a man of incredible talent, from the Broadway show, "The Fantastiks", ("Try to remember ..."), through L and O, the voice over for the candelabra in Beauty and the Beast, and others as well. He, also, did have a line of suits going for him, as well.
A scripted one-liner he spoke, has stuck with me, and I'm sure you can relate, in your own time and place: "Ah yes, I spent a year there, one weekend."
His LandO piece, was a standard SandW Model 36, well hidden on his lanky frame.
