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.

Damn woman, exactly how OLD are you? You are starting to worry me. I think we need an intervention or something.

If it makes you feel any better, I also think Johnny Depp is hot.
I know, I’m weird. I’m a Gemini, what do you expect?

Johnny Depp IS hot. So, yeah, you’re a classic Gemini. Weirdo!

I love L&O and I love Sam (and Johnny Depp).

I did a little piece today on Sam as well. I think he’s great. Of course, I’m still confused whether it’s Sam or JACK that I like so much. Nice to know there are so many Sam fans out there.
