Det. Joe Fontana/Dennis Farina (The new guy of L&O)
From nbc.com

I like him, the character I mean. His got a nice good attitude. The actor is great as well. I've seen him in The Mod Squad and liked his style in that. I think he is going to fit in good on the show. |

Yeah, he's not bad, so far. I don't remember him in his other roles, and although he is no Briscoe, I think he'll fit in good at L&O.

Here's Dennis Farina's page at imdb.com. The only movies on the list I remember seeing are Midnight Run and Little Big League.
I haven't had a chance to see last Wednesday's episodes yet so I can't say yet if I like his character. Hopefully I'll catch up on Sunday. Last edited by dukesmom; 09-26-2004 at 02:55 AM |

I thought he fit in fairly well. He seemed like a good match for Ed. I've never seen him in anything else before though.

I've never seen any of his movies other than Little Big League, and I don't remember it very well. I'm excited to see that he's going to be in Empire Falls, though. I loved that book.

He's already butting heads with Van Buren And he was late on his first day! Hhm...we'll see. The fact that Van Buren told Ed that she "had no choice" in hiring him was pretty funny.

The jury, consisting of my twelve clones , is still out on Detective Fontana. I havenât seen enough to form an opinion. In fact, right now all I have is questions. Why was he late the first day? How does he get the money for trips to Rome, $300 shirts and that car? When he left Green at the bar in the premiere episode, where did he go? What problem existed between him and his former supervisor? Oy, I feel like a contestant on Jeopardy!

Yeah, there's a lot we don't know about Fontana. I kind of like it, and hope they don't delve into his personal life too much, just because it's interesting to wonder and hypothesize about him. It's all very enigmatic.

Here's an article I found on the internet today about Farina: Farina's Career Revived on 'Law & Order'. I like that he brings added realism to the show.
