(FORMER) JUSTICE (WITH A LIBERAL LAWYER GHOST DAD), DENIED: NBC has officially canceled Jimmy Smits' show Outlaw; final four completed episodes to be burnt off Saturdays at 8pm, with an additional hour of Dateline to fill that 10pm slot of Fridays (during which you're supposed to be watching Yo, Teach! anyway.)
Having now served in the United States Congress, Galactic Senate, the Executive Branch (well, briefly at the end of the last West Wing episode) and on the Supreme Court, where would you like to see Smits next?
Also, he's completed both sides of Law & Order--Cop on NYPD Blue, and ADA on Dexter. Assuming we're not getting "West Wing: The Santos Years," I'm not sure what he does next.
ReplyDeleteAnd I wouldn't be surprised to see a little pop for the show on Saturdays--competition is reruns and college football. Remember that "Golden Girls" was a top 20 hit on Saturdays for years.
And he was mayor of Houston, though we didn't get to see it.
ReplyDeleteI vote for anything that puts him back in the flyboy uniform we saw him in on TWW. Yum.
All three sides of the criminal justice system -- as Phil reminded us in an earlier thread, he was drug dealer Julio Gonzalez in Running Scared.
ReplyDeleteTime to be a Starship Captain, I think.
ReplyDeleteOn the criminal side, he was both labor (as Adam C. mentions, Running Scared) and management (Cane). And don't forget that in addition to all of that experience on the criminal side, he also grazed on both sides of the fence as a civil defense and civil plaintiffs' lawyer (LA Law).
ReplyDeleteI'm going to guess he did at least one criminal defense case at McKenzie Brackman Cheney Kuzak & Becker.
ReplyDeleteThere's really only place to go at this point - Pope.
ReplyDeleteOr maybe Space Pope.
So now he needs to do 12 Angry Men.
ReplyDeleteVictor Sifuentes was a public defender before joining MBC&K as an associate in the pilot episode. So yeah, although I can't give you specifics, I'm gonna say he handled a criminal defense matter or two during the show's run.
ReplyDeleteArbitration and mediation?
ReplyDeleteThe very model of a modern major general?
ReplyDeleteHow about a shout out for his role on Dexter apart from the legal mumbo jumbo -- aspiring serial killer. I liked him as a serial killer. He seemed so normal, great with the neighborhood kids.
ReplyDeleteHow about some kind of ruthless corporate-type in charge of a private prison?
ReplyDeleteHE is Spartacus!
ReplyDeleteShow choir coach?
