Carrie Preston Looks Back on "Law & Order: Criminal Intent"

[JamesG]

Most New York-based actors have a "Law & Order" role on their résumé — but Carrie Preston has three on just one of the NBC franchise's series alone: "Warren Light, is also a playwright and I had done a play of his at Baltimore Center Stage. He's very loyal to people who've worked for him, and I think that might be the reason why I got to be on that show three times," she says of playing a victim and two killers over a three-year span.

"Usually, they want to wait five years before they let you play another part. But mine came pretty fast, one upon the other."



She also played the wife of a child rapist on Special Victims Unit, but "I never did the mothership though, what we call the original Law & Order," she says.

"I auditioned for it a million times, but I never got cast on that one." (There is a reboot coming, Carrie...)
