		Veteran Hollywood tough guy Dennis Farina, known for playing a motley assortment of movie mobsters as well as a no-nonsense P.I. on the Peacock's 1980s series Crime Story, is taking over for Jerry Orbach in NBC's top-rated franchise.
		Farina's character has still to be hashed out, but Wolf tells TV Guide that he envisions the 60-year-old actor playing an "Italian cop who's an iconoclastand a confirmed bachelor."
		Farina's character will likely partner up with Det. Ed Green (Jesse L. Martin) on the ripped-from-the-headlines drama, which is now entering its 15th season and still going strong, averaging 15.9 million viewers a week and consistently ranking in the Nielsen top 15.

		A pair of baffled low-grade mobsters (Dennis Farina and Jack Kehler) screw up their attempt to actually kill the girl's arrogant corporate embezzler step-daddy (Stanley Tucci) when they mistake Foster for a rival hit man.
		Even with the rushed run-time, every performer is afforded the opportunity to fine-tune their broadly funny personalities with vaudevillian character traits, keeping the amusement level at maximum no matter how preposterous or plot-punctured the picture gets.
