Law & Orderverse Dream Team Results: The Cops And Lawyers You Want On Your Perfect Squad
The voting is closed. The results are in. And now we know exactly which Law & Order characters you'd want in your ideal mix of fictional police officers and lawyers. DUN-DUN!
We posed the question to our readers earlier this week: Which four lawyers and five cops from the many Law & Order series would comprise the perfect team?
Fans voted via polls that contained characters played by series regulars on Law & Order, SVU, Criminal Intent, Trial by Jury, LA, True Crime and Organized Crime. We limited the choices to the squad room and the District Attorney's office because, c'mon, we'd all want psychologist Dr. Huang and medical examiner Dr. Warner around regardless, right?
When the votes were totaled, here's who you wanted on your dream team:
LAW
Capt. Olivia Benson, SVU (played by Mariska Hargitay)
Det. Lennie Briscoe, Law & Order (played by Jerry Orbach)
Det. Elliot Stabler, SVU (played by Chris Meloni)
Lt. Anita Van Buren, Law & Order (played by S. Epatha Merkerson)
Det. Odafin "Fin" Tutuola, SVU (played by Ice-T)
Runners-up: Det. Ed Green, Law & Order (played by Jesse L. Martin); Det. Robert Goren, Criminal Intent (played by Vincent D'Onofrio); Sgt. John Munch, SVU (played by Richard Belzer); Det. Mike Logan, Law & Order (played by Chris Noth); and Capt. Donald Cragen, SVU (played by Dann Florek).
ORDER
DA Jack McCoy, Law & Order (played by Sam Waterston)
ADA Rafael Barba, SVU (played by Raúl Esparza)
ADA Alexandra Cabot, SVU (played by Stephanie March)
ADA Abbie Carmichael, Law & Order (played by Angie Harmon)
ADA Dominick "Sonny" Carisi Jr., SVU (played by Peter Scanavino)
Runners-up: ADA Casey Novak, SVU (played by Diane Neal); DA Adam Schiff, Law & Order (played by Steven Hill); ADA Claire Kincaid, Law & Order (played by Jill Hennessy); ADA Connie Rubirosa, Law & Order (played by Alana de la Garza); and Executive ADA Ben Stone, Law & Order (played by Michael Moriarty).
In case you're curious about which characters got the fewest votes: That distinction goes to Criminal Intent's Capt. Joseph Hannah (played by Jay O. Sanders) and Trial by Jury's ADA Kelly Gaffney (played by Amy Carlson).
