Star of stage, screen, and Law and Order screen, Jerry Orbach is the best actor over 90 on TV today.
Or is he? Look at his stage name and you see a clear message.
Jerry:
Je - the french personal pronoun (le pronom personnel) for "I"
Re - to repeat, like Groundhog Day, or the Bill Murray movie about Groundhog Day

Orbach:
Or - the Cockney accent for "whore"
Bach - JOHANN SEBASTIAN BACH!
Or - the Cockney accent for "whore"
Bach - JOHANN SEBASTIAN BACH!
Or Simply - "I am the whore J.S. Bach who lives my life over and over like the movie about Groundhog day."
So Jerry Orbach is screaming to us that he is the reincarnated Germanic composer, who is doomed to star in police procedurals during a series of infinately concurrent afterlives.
Likely as punishment for fucking awful Brandenburg Concertos.

I'm pretty sure that Jerry Orbach, like you for a while there, is dead. He would need a new Jerry Orbach to inhabit to continue his mission.
And that new Orbach's name is Fred Thompson... the next president of the united states???
(no.)
You've surely been listening to the worst Brandenburgs on record, Herbert von Karajan's 1981 cycle with the Berlin Philharmonic on Deutsche Grammophon. Fluffy, as he was called, had been heavily influenced by a Screamin' Jay Hawkins concert he attended in a misguided attempt to impress a much younger woman, rumored to be violinist Anne-Sophie Mutter. Over the course of the two CDs, Karajan can be heard from the conductor's stand punctuating the most ornamental passages with screams of "Furburger!"
Wayne Cheeze!
