Bebe Neuwirth to Join New 'Law & Order'

LOS ANGELES (AP) - Bebe Neuwirth, who played Lilith the psychiatrist on the sitcoms "Cheers" and "Frasier," is getting serious with a role as the latest member of the "Law & Order" family. Neuwirth will play a tough Manhattan prosecutor in "Law & Order: Trial by Jury," coming to NBC next year.

She joins actor Jerry Orbach, who's moving over from the original "Law & Order" series.

Neuwirth received two Emmy Awards for her portrayal of Frasier Crane's wife (and later ex-wife) on the NBC sitcoms. An acclaimed musical stage star, she won Tony Awards for "Sweet Charity" and "Chicago."

She's appeared in "How to Lose a Guy in 10 Days,""Summer of Sam,""Malice,""Bugsy" and other films.

An air date for the new "Law & Order" has not been announced.

I have to admit, I'm not a big L & O fan, but this show is really putting together a strong ensemble cast.
