Jerry Lewis to guest star on Law & Order: SVU
If you didn’t know it was Jerry Lewis, you would never recognize him as a homeless man on next Tuesday’s Law & Order: SVU. He is witness to a rape and murder of a mother and daughter. Here is the scoop:
When a homeless man is found in New York’s Central Park and brought in for questioning by Detectives Stabler (Chris Meloni) and Beck (Guest star Connie Nielsen), one member of the Unit is dealt an emotional blow as Detective John Munch (Richard Belzer) recognizes the homeless man as his long lost uncle, Andrew. This powerful episode deals with many societal issues including the treatment of the mentally ill and the aged.
Executive Producer Neal Baer commented, “We are thrilled and inspired to be working with Jerry Lewis, a true legend and professional actor. He brings both depth and heart to this role and gives insight into how often older people with depression are misdiagnosed.”
Law & Order is getting some pretty sweet guest stars this season. First Chevy Chase will be on Law & Order. Then Liza Minelli on Law & Order: Criminal Minds. And now Jerry Lewis. Who else will the L&O teams manage to snag for guest spots this season?
