For the last year, Dylan McDermott has been co-starring in Law & Order: Criminal Intent as a criminal. Sadly for fans of the procedural, his time is up. However, for fans of Dick Wolf, he is just about to get started on FBI: Most Wanted.
This weekend, CBS announced that Julian McMahon is leaving the show in March. Today, Deadline is reporting that McDermott will be replacing him.
No word how McDermott’s character will be written out, but we will see him on the CBS show beginning in April.
Julian McMahon has been part of the CBS FBI family since they shot the backdoor pilot for FBI: Most Wanted. However, at the beginning of this season, he asked the producers if he could move on from the show to seek other creative opportunities. So, this week, he will film his final episode, and it will air on March 8th.
“I would like to express the gratitude and admiration I have had working with Dick Wolf and Peter Jankowski,” McMahon told Deadline. “I’m extremely proud of the work we have done together and put the development of this show, and my character Jess, at the top of my professional experience list. I wish the show, and its cast & crew, the greatest success in the future. I am grateful to have had the opportunity to play Jess; he is a good man.”
His replacement will make their debut before the end of the season.
Yesterday on Chicago Fire, they killed a roach on the first responder drama. Or did they? Wolf Entertainment revealed the truth. It was a date with mayonnaise inside of it. It looks real, right?
And yes, not everything in Hollywood, or should I say Chicago, is fake. They did use real cockroaches. They had a trainer with trained bugs pull a roach out of the ear.
While the insects there were real, the head was fake. So not everything is real. And not everything is fake. Therefore, we just have to guess which is which.

Sam Waterston spent 18 years on Law & Order the first go around, so everyone wondered if he would come back to do the sequel or has he retired his character?
Today, we got our answer. Wolf Entertainment announced that he will once again be playing Jack McCoy when the NBC procedural returns on February 24th.
Back in 1991, Camryn Manheim made her television acting debut as a guest star on a show called Law & Order.
Now 30 years later, she is back on the series as a star. Therefore, I think, she can retire if and when it gets canceled. I mean, how many actors can say they get to star on the show that launched their careers on decades later. I can’t think of any, can you?
When it comes to her character, Deadline says she’s playing Lt. Kate Dixon who is the successor to Lt. Anita Van Buren. Buren was played by S. Epatha Merkerson, who is now on Dick Wolf’s other show Chicago Med.
