Back in July of last year, we reported that actor, Linus Roache, was joining
Law & Order as the new Executive Assistant District Attorney (EADA). His baptismal of fire came last week when the long-running flag bearer of the
Law & Order franchise returned to television.
Now on its 18th season,
Law & Order kicked off via a special two-hour premiere last Wednesday. Tonight, it resumes its original time slot at 10pm. For the British Roache, it took doing a bit of homework in order to familiarize himself with the show and the city it calls home.

Quite honesty, been watching this show religiously for years, this actor is the best addition to this show ...
In an interview with CanMag, Roache talked about the preparations he made to get into his role as EADA Michael Cutter.
"I've watched different seasons of the show just to really get the style and the format and the function of the characters. Then I just wanted to see the real life thing so that's what I did. I hung out with some ADAs,” the actor revealed.
Aside from having to sink his teeth into his
Law & Order character's profession, Roache also had to develop an understanding of the city that provides the backdrop for the series. Fortunately for everyone, Roache is an unabashed fan of the Big Apple, which he proudly considers his adoptive home.
"New York, without a doubt, is my favorite city in the world,” Roache declared. “It always has been. That's why I choose to kind of live here. Because New York is such a cosmopolitan city, you can take pretty much any story anywhere in the world and put it into New York, New York and it'll work.”
“That's what I love about this city. It's such a multicultural, cosmopolitan place. As long as you live in New York you're a New Yorker, doesn't matter where you're from originally. It's an immigrant city and there's a certain energy and power to that," the man originally from Manchester, England added.
