EW reports that Scream alum and Jericho survivor Skeet Ulrich has signed on for the role of Rex Winters in the upcoming spin-off Law and Order: Los Angeles. In the series, Winters will take center stage as an ex-Marine cop married to his ex-partner. Winters has a very cut-and-dry outlook on the world. With the Rodney King riots heating up in just his second month on the job, Winters has a feeling that the entire world is in disorder.
No other cast announcements have been made at this time, but this first move is settling well for those of us who are addicted to the series in its many incarnations. IMDB reports that other interested parties include Kristin Kreuk and Matthew Marsden. However, they also said Terrence Howard would be in the role that Ulrich is now claiming, so you never know. Come this September, we will find out!
Kristin Kreuk! I love her. She is my favorite actress on Smallville and Chuck. I hope its true that Kristin K is on Law & Order b/c it is definitely will be good ratings to the show. A lot of people out there love her and definitely will watch KK in any show. YAY Kristin, you go girl!!!
I love Skeet Ulrich — he is GORGEOUS but he is also an incredibly gifted natural actor, not melodramatic like so many on tv today. I would love it if they cast Angus McFayden (the guy who played Robert the Bruce in Braveheart) as another detective. They had great chemistry together on their critically acclaimed show: Miracles)
Kirsten Kreuk or Matthew Marsden will not be part of LOLA. That was some random speculation by an EW reporter. The only people casted are Skeet Ulrich and Holly Marie Combs. The latter as of yet has no known role, and is labeled as “in talks”.
