The American television police procedural and legal drama Law & Order (1990–2010 & 2022–present) follows the fictional cases of a group of police detectives and prosecutors who represent the public in the criminal justice system. Law & Order is known for its revolving cast, as most of its original stars had left the show within the first five seasons.[1] The progression of the record for longest serving main cast members of the series is: Jerry Orbach as Det. Lennie Briscoe (1992–2004, 12 seasons), S. Epatha Merkerson as Lt. Anita Van Buren (1993–2010, 17 seasons) and Sam Waterston as EADA/DA Jack McCoy (1994–2010 & 2022–2024, 19 seasons).
