His Girl Friday: Review

Howard Hawks' brilliant remake of Hecht and MacArthur's Front Page ups the ante by casting savvy Rosalind Russell as Hilde the reporter, a part originally written for a man.

Vance was skeptical when L&O creator Dick Wolf offered him the part of Assistant District Attorney Ron Carver on Law & Order: Criminal Intent (on NBC, Sundays at 9 pm/ET) back in 2001.
