Reynaldo "Rey" Curtis is a fictional character on the TV drama ''Law & Order'', created by Ed Zuckerman and played by Benjamin Bratt from 1995 to 1999. He appeared in 98 episodes (95 episodes of ''Law & Order'' and three episodes of ''Homicide: Life on the Street''). He also appeared in ''Exiled: A Law & Order Movie''. ==Character overview== Curtis is introduced as a homicide detective in the New York Police Department, the junior partner of Lennie Briscoe in Manhattan's 27th Detective Squad. In contrast with his predecessor, Mike Logan, Curtis — a conservative, devout Catholic — does his job by the book, and views it in black and white terms: He believes that if someone breaks the law, he or she deserves to go to jail, regardless of circumstances. Curtis transferred to the 27th from the NYPD's Organized Crime Control Bureau, and occasionally comments on the increased scope of investigations he was able to undertake due to its larger budget. He left the OCCB because his female supervisor was making unwelcome romantic/sexual advances toward him. Curtis and his wife Deborah were married in 1989 and had three daughters: Olivia (born 1990), Serena (born 1992) and Isabel (born 1994). His sister died in a car accident at the age of 10. He is of Peruvian, English, Native American and German descent. In the character's first season on the show, he is rebuked by his superiors on at least four occasions: in the first, Briscoe calls him out for pulling his gun on a suspect; In the second, Curtis loses his temper with a suspect in the interrogation room and must be removed; In the third, Lieutenant Anita Van Buren reprimands him for allowing a father physically to discipline his son in the interrogation room;〔 And, in the fourth, Van Buren orders him to take the day off after rough conduct at the headquarters. After about a year on the job, Curtis' values are tested by a series of personal problems. Distraught after witnessing the execution of a man he helped prosecute, Curtis cheats on Deborah with a college student (played by Jennifer Garner).〔 His indiscretion nearly destroys their marriage, but they repair their relationship after going through marriage counseling. Just as their lives are returning to normal, however, Deborah is diagnosed with multiple sclerosis. Curtis feels responsible for her suffering, as if God is punishing her for his sins. At this time, he also becomes more flexible in his approach to work, and he forms a deeper bond with the twice-divorced Briscoe, who offers him advice and someone to lean on. Curtis returns the favor when Briscoe's daughter is murdered by briefly letting him stay with his family to help him deal with the grief. They become so close that Curtis' children call Briscoe "Uncle Lenny". By 1999, Deborah's MS has worsened considerably, to the point that she can hardly hold a toothbrush on her own. Curtis takes early retirement to care for her,〔 and is succeeded by Det. Ed Green. He returns for a brief guest appearance on the December 11, 2009 episode, "Fed," 10 years after his departure from the precinct. The episode reveals that the Curtis family had moved to California some years before. At the time of the episode, Deborah had finally succumbed to MS, and he and his daughters have returned to bury her on Long Island, where she and her family are from. Curtis tells a then ailing Van Buren that Deborah died at home in his arms, and also that he had called and spoken to Briscoe shortly before his death. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Rey Curtis」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
