[On why he left "Law & Order" (1990)]: "`Law and Order` is completely story-driven and completely characterless, really. If you do that format for five years and you`re an actor, you`re bound to get bored. It wears on you. And it was really wearing on me. But you need a job, and I felt awfully blessed to be in New York City and to be doing a show that was considered intelligent in the world of TV. But hey, five years is enough time."
