Law & Order (season 4)

This is the final season to feature Michael Moriarty as Ben Stone and the last to feature Carolyn McCormick in a starring capacity.

Cast

There were two cast changes from season 3:
This was the first time women played any of the Law and Order 's six major characters: both roles would continue to be occupied by women, with Merkerson remaining in the role of Van Buren, throughout the remainder of the series. It was also the first time in Law and Order's history that two major cast changes were made simultaneously; the next such double change would not happen until the beginning of season 17.
During this season J. K. Simmons, who would later have a recurring role as Dr. Emil Skoda, appeared in the episode "Sanctuary" as TV cameraman Jerry Luppin.
