Happy Birthday, Sam Waterston!
Name:Â Samuel Atkinson Waterston
Birthday:Â November 15, 1940
Role Most Known For: Jack McCoy, Law & Order
Trivia:Â His father was an immigrant from Scotland and was a semanticist (which explains his excellent diction); his mother was an American Mayflower descendant and landscape painter; he graduated with a BA from Yale in 1962; in 2002, he and castmate Jerry Orbach were designated "Living Landmarks" by the New York Landmarks Conservatory.
It seems to be Law & Order week here on GlossLip...
While Sam has portrayed, either in person or in voice-over, presidents including Thomas Jefferson and Abraham Lincoln, his best-known role is that of Executive Assistant District Attorney Jack McCoy, bender of rules, contempter of court, and aggressor of arguments. He's settled down a bit, but in the beginning of the series was a bit of a womanizer, having relationships with a few of his female assistants.
Hmm...wonder if he needs any help with his quid pro quo.
Don't look at me like that. Just because there's snow on the roof and all that, you know.
