NBC Sets THE PALEY CENTER PRESENTS LAW & ORDER: BEFORE THEY WERE STARS Special

NBC and Paley Center have teamed up for another primetime special celebrating the LAW & ORDER franchise, this time honoring the memorable guest stars who have appeared over the years.

THE PALEY CENTER PRESENTS LAW & ORDER: BEFORE THEY WERE STARS will air on Thursday, November 12 at 10/9c, following SVU’s season 22 premiere (at 9/8c).

“Law & Order is one of television’s most legendary brands and has served as a springboard for so many talented actors,” said Maureen J. Reidy, the Paley Center’s President & CEO, in a statement. “We’re honored to partner with our friends from NBC to present this entertaining look at where some of today’s biggest stars got their first big break.”

According to NBC, the special will include interviews with THIS IS US stars Ron Cephas Jones, Chris Sullivan and Susan Kelechi Watson, Leslie Odom Jr., THE SOPRANOS vets Michael Imperioli and Aida Turturro, Ariel Winter, Abigail Breslin, and S. Epatha Merkerson.

The special will also include interviews with the various LAW & ORDER ensembles discussing the guest stars…including the now-series regulars who started on the franchise by guesting as different characters.

This is the second LAW & ORDER-centric Paley special this year, after the recent retrospective hour on SVU’s historic 21st season.
