The anticipation for the casting of Law & Order: Los Angeles has been high in recent weeks as production is to start later this month. Today, one fraction of that anticipation can be put to rest. Jericho star Skeet Ulrich has been cast as one of the two detectives in the series.

So far there have been numerous names to play the other detective from Dean Cain (Lois & Clark: The New Adventures of Superman) to Benjamin Bratt, who’s character from the original Law & Order moved to L.A., might be in the running. There has been word that Lucy Liu might also be in talks to playing the Captain. All of these are considered rumors for now, but casting updates should be confirmed soon.
