It’s the end of an era on NBC‘s "Law & Order" as Sam Waterston is gearing up to say goodbye. Waterston’s final appearance as District Attorney Jack McCoy, whom he played across more than 400 episodes, will air on February 22.
As Waterston exits, the cast will be joined by "Scandal" alum Tony Goldwyn, who will portray the new district attorney.
Waterston shared a message to fans of the series in a special message below.
“Greetings, you wonderful people. It’s a pleasure to talk directly like this to the backbone of Law & Order‘s absolutely amazing audience. The time has come for me to move on and take Jack McCoy with me. There’s sadness in leaving, but I’m just too curious about what’s next. An actor doesn’t want to let himself get too comfortable.
I’m more grateful to you than I can say. L&O’s continuing and amazing long run, along with its astounding come-back, is all thanks to you and Dick Wolf, but for whose vision, patience, perseverance, and unique combination of creative and business talents, none of this would have happened. I feel very blessed. I hope to see you all on the flip side. Thank you, Sam”
