Jerry Orbach

Jerry Orbach's character, Lenny Brisco, on the original "Law and Order" is certainly entertaining. A true hard bitten, wisecracking, old NY cop with a dry sense of humor. What I didn't know, or didn't put together, was that Jerry Orbach was also the voice of "Lumiere", the hard bitten, wisecracking candlestick with a dry sense of humor, in Disney's "Beauty and the Beast" and a few guest apearances in Disney's "House of Mouse".

Now that I picture it in my mind I can fit the voice to Orbach. He had a damn good singing voice, too.

Jerry Orbach died a couple of days ago. He leaves quite a body of work. [no police investigation is necessary] He will be missed.
