I had of course remembered David Groh in another episode of Law and Order based on a true incident involving a therapist, his wife and the horrific death of his young daughter for which he was convicted.
Recently, I saw the Law and Order episode "Censure" on cable TV. In it, David Groh plays Judge Joel Thayer, and is accused of stalking an ex-lover, and of threatening her daughter. During the course of the investigation, the detectives interview several witnesses -- one of whom is a suspect caught attempting to retrieve money left in a trash can in Central Park.
In an effort to identify the "black sedan" observed with a distinct crest or decal in the vicinity of the victim and her mother, THIS SUSPECT is brought in for questioning and is ultimately able to recognize this insignia on the car as "a Roman profile, like on a coin." (Was he eating a sandwich, triumphant and declaring " Yeah, I think you got it"?????)
NOW, AM I COMPLETELY OFF BASE HERE, OR IS THIS ACTOR IN FACT NONE OTHER THAN David CHASE - THE CREATOR OF THE HBO SERIES, "THE SOPRANOS???"
