Vincent D’Onofrio might be known to Marvel fans as the iconic Kingpin. However, the actor has plenty of landmark roles in his portfolio, and also spent time on Law & Order: Criminal Intent, as Detective Robert Goren. While the actor’s time on the show ended back in 2005, he opened doors for a return.
D’Onofrio outlined the challenges that came with the often 18-hour long shifts he had to put in. However, he also enjoyed his time on the show, and claimed that a potential return depends on the creators of the show.

While the NBC television drama Law & Order: Criminal Intent allowed him to become a household name for his outstanding performance as Detective Robert Goren, it wasn’t really easy for Vincent D’Onofrio to play the intelligent but imposing detective for nine seasons. To say the least, his onset experiences had him being a total prick to his co-stars.

Though he decided to go on the show to make a career for himself and in search of a better life and career, the actor was actually met with the opposite as he had to work overtime, leading even to him eventually collapsing on set after suffering from exhaustion.

Jill Hennessy's exit from Law & Order as Claire Kincaid was due to a fear of being typecast after three seasons. Kincaid's shocking death in a car accident on the show impacted characters long after she left, especially Briscoe. Hennessy has since diversified her acting roles in movies and TV, including starring in Crossing Jordan and creating The Acting Class.
Here's Claire Kincaid's shocking exit from Law & Order explained. The original series of Law & Order arrived in 1990 and would spawn a robust franchise that runs to this day. The show is a procedural with a unique structure, with the first half of a typical episode following detectives investigating a case and arresting a suspect. The second half then follows efforts by the District Attorney's office to prosecute said suspects for their crimes. Law & Order came to an end in 2010 after 20 seasons and a staggering 456 episodes.

Since then, we have all gotten to know and love the New York Detectives who work the Special Victims Unit cases.
Those detectives have changed several times as actors have come and gone from the show. Here are the Law & Order: Svu cast members and characters we'll follow during season 26.
Olivia Benson (Mariska Hargitay)
More than 550 episodes of Law & Order: Svu have been produced leading up to Season 26.
Olivia Benson has appeared in all of them.
Olivia Benson's Most Memorable Moments From 25 Years of Svu
She has been there from the beginning; we have seen her grow and evolve beautifully.
As the years passed, she went from being a detective to the head of the entire department.
The show wouldn't be the same without her.
At this point, Mariska Hargitay is so associated with Captain Benson that it's hard to think of her as any other character.

Law & Order Svu has put its cast through some difficult episodes. Actors like Mariska Hargitay have been very candid in the past about how the show’s darker subject matter affected her. But Kelli Giddish might’ve been even more disturbed by certain episodes, especially ones involving children.
How Kelli Giddish dealt with the tougher episodes of ‘Law & Order Svu’ Kelli Giddish | Arturo Holmes/WireImage
Giddish knew what she was signing up for when she was first cast in Svu. She’d already guest-starred on Law & Order Svu as another character four years prior to landing the role of Amanda Rollins. She even appeared in Wolf’s other spin-off Criminal Intent. But guest-starring on the show was much different than being a series-regular.
As detective Rollins, Giddish was consistently exposed to more than a few haunting crimes. Some of which could be hard to shake off when Giddish could relate to them personally.

NBC is well ahead of the game this season on the renewal-decision front, handing early pickups to freshman dramas Found and The Irrational as well as One Chicago, Law & Order and Law & Order: Svu while canceling Quantum Leap, La Brea and Magnum Pi.
That leaves just a headful of shows on the bubble, mostly on the comedy side. The one drama series still waiting to hear its fate is Law & Order: Organized Crime. It’s always been an outlier, a departure from the Dick Wolf procedural brand with its darker and serialized storytelling. Possibly as a result, the series starring Christopher Meloni has performed below the five other Wolf dramas on the linear NBC network, while it has reportedly done well on Peacock.

Law & Order and Special Victims Unit have been renewed for new seasons on NBC. Organized Crime's future is uncertain amid lower ratings. Organized Crime could still go the way of many cancelled Dick Wolf spinoffs.
Two of the three ongoing Law & Order shows have been officially renewed. The universe of shows from creator Dick Wolf combine crime procedural and legal procedural elements and have all branched out from the flagship show, which originally premiered on NBC in 1990. So far, the show has received six spinoffs, with several already having been cancelled. However, the first spinoff, Special Victims Unit, is still going strong with 23 seasons so far. The other ongoing spinoff, Organized Crime, features Elliot Stabler (Christopher Meloni), a character who originated on Svu.

“Law & Order Toronto: Criminal Intent” may be the biggest original TV series premiere Canada has ever had. That means, when that famous “dun-dun” opens the series on Feb. 22 via Citytv, the pressure is on.
It’s notoriously hard to get a show greenlit in Canada. Funding challenges, market size and competition from U.S. acquisitions mean few, if any, Canadian series debut on the Big 3 commercial networks each season. Even public broadcaster CBC, which boasts the highest number of originals on a major network, still relies on acquisitions to fill out its primetime programming grid.
Figuring out how to make noise with a new series in a crowded landscape isn’t a uniquely Canadian challenge, but there are more hurdles here. That’s why from the beginning, a Canadian adaptation of “Criminal Intent” felt like a win — at least from a viewership and marketing standpoint. It’s a recognizable...

Former Law & Order spinoff boss Warren Leight gave viewers a new perspective in a Tuesday X post (fka Twitter), stating that it may still be possible for networks to salvage a 13-episode season, but only if the WGA strike’s demands are met soon.
“Today many network dramas would have begun shooting their 4th episode of the fall season,” the former executive producer and showrunner for Svu and Criminal Intent wrote. “If the strike were somehow to end by Labor Day and shooting were to begin in early fall, the networks might be able to salvage a 13 episode season.

The Law & Order universe is set to expand with a Toronto-based spinoff touting a familiar name. Created by Dick Wolf, the Law & Order universe has been ongoing since the series first premiered in 1990. Since then, there have been many spinoffs, including the still-airing Law & Order: Special Victims Unit and Law & Order: Organized Crime.
Now, Variety reports that a Toronto-based spinoff will be joining the current slate of Law & Order shows being produced. The series, titled Law & Order Toronto: Criminal Intent, follows a group of elite detectives investigating major criminal activities in Toronto. The show pulls its title from Law & Order: Criminal Intent, a US-based spinoff starring Vincent D'Onofrio, which ran from 2001 to 2011. Law & Order Toronto: Criminal Intent will run for 10 episodes, which are set to premiere in spring 2024.

Dun-dun! You really can’t stop the Law & Order franchise. Since the very first episode of the flagship series back in 1990, Law & Order has kept on trucking in one form or another. The franchise will now be heading to Canada as Citytv has ordered Law & Order Toronto: Criminal Intent.
The first season of Law & Order Toronto: Criminal Intent will consist of ten episodes and will premiere in Spring 2024. As you might guess from the title, this spinoff series will take its lead from Law & Order: Criminal Intent, the third series in the Law & Order franchise. The original Criminal Intent series ran for ten seasons and starred Vincent D’Onofrio and Kathryn Erbe.

The “Law & Order” universe is heading up north. Citytv has ordered the series “Law & Order Toronto: Criminal Intent,” Rogers Media announced on Monday. The pickup was revealed a day before Rogers Media’s virtual upfront presentation on June 6.
The Toronto iteration hails from Vancouver-based Lark Productions and Cameron Pictures Inc. in association with Citytv.

Since Dick Wolf’s crime procedural Law & Order first premiered on NBC in 1990, television hasn’t spent a single moment without it or one of its many spinoffs.
Currently the Law & Order franchise has three programs running: the reboot of the flagship series (that just finished its second season and 22nd overall), Law & Order: Svu (which has been renewed for a 25th season), and Law & Order: Organized Crime (which has been renewed for a fourth season). Still with all that Law & Order in production (and that’s not even to mention the many re-runs on NBCUniversal’s cadre of cable channels), one former star of a Law & Order spinoff thinks there’s room for more.

In New York City’s war on crime, the worst criminal offenders were pursued by the detectives of the Major Case squad — that was, until USA Network pulled the plug on Law & Order: Criminal Intent in 2011.
But now, more than a decade later, original series star Vincent D’Onofrio is lobbying to reprise his role as Detective Robert Goren, alongside Kathryn Erbe’s Detective Alexandra Eames, in a revival of the long-running Law & Order offshoot.
