Jerry Orbach
Jerome Bernard "Jerry" Orbach (October 20, 1935 – December 28, 2004) was an American actor and singer, described at his death as "one of the last'' bona fide'' leading men of the Broadway musical and global celebrity on television"〔Brantley, Ben; Severo, Richard. ("Jerry Orbach, Stage and TV Actor, Is Dead at 69" ), ''The New York Times'', December 30, 2004. Retrieved July 12, 2014〕 and a "versatile stage and film actor".
Orbach's professional career began on the New York stage, both on and off-Broadway, where he created roles such as El Gallo in the original off-Broadway run of ''The Fantasticks'' (1960) and became the first performer to sing that show's standard "Try To Remember"; Billy Flynn in the original ''Chicago'' (1975-1977), and Julian Marsh in the original ''42nd Street'' (1980-1985). Nominated for multiple Tony Awards, Orbach won for his performance as Chuck Baxter in ''Promises, Promises'' (1968-1972).
Later in his career, Orbach played supporting roles in various films; such as ''Prince of the City'' (1981), ''Dirty Dancing'' (1987), ''Crimes and Misdemeanors'' (1989) and Disney's ''Beauty and the Beast'' (1991).〔 He also made frequent guest appearances on television; including a recurring role on ''Murder, She Wrote'' (1985-1991). However, he gained worldwide fame for his starring role as NYPD Detective Lennie Briscoe on the long-running NBC crime drama ''Law & Order'' (1992-2004).〔() The Associated Press, 12/29/2004〕
==Early life==
Orbach was born on October 20, 1935, in the Bronx, the only child of Emily (née Olexy), a greeting card manufacturer and radio singer, and Leon Orbach, a restaurant manager and vaudeville performer.〔(Jerry Orbach profile ), filmreference.com; accessed January 16, 2014.〕 His father was a Sephardic Jewish immigrant from Hamburg, Germany.〔Orbach had stated that his father was descended from Sephardic refugees from the Spanish Inquisition〕 His mother, a native of Pennsylvania, was a Roman Catholic of Polish-Lithuanian descent, and Orbach was raised in her faith (a religious background later replicated in his character on ''Law & Order'').〔 Reprinted in the ''South Florida Sun-Sentinel'' on April 7, 1993 as "(Orbach Gives `Law & Order` Seedy Side )" and ''Bangor Daily News'' on March 6, 1993 as "(Orbach likes new role as cynical cop )."〕〔()〕 Throughout his childhood, the Orbach family moved frequently, living in Mount Vernon, New York; Wilkes-Barre, Nanticoke, and Scranton, Pennsylvania; Springfield, Massachusetts; and Waukegan, Illinois. Orbach attended Waukegan High School in Illinois and graduated in 1952 (having skipped two grades in elementary school due to his high IQ.〔). He played on the football team and began learning acting in a speech class. The summer after graduating from high school, Orbach worked at the theatre of Chevy Chase Country Club of Wheeling, Illinois, and enrolled at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign in the fall. In 1953, Orbach returned to the Chicago area and enrolled at Northwestern University. Orbach left Northwestern before his senior year and moved to New York City in 1955 to pursue acting and to study at the Actors Studio, where one of his instructors was the studio's founder, Lee Strasberg.〔
