Detective Joe Fontana, played by Dennis Farina, never reveals where he gets the money to pay for his expensive tastes. However his background is that he's never been married and has no children. With no one else to spend his money on, it seems that his choice is his own, to treat himself to the best.

What happen to Christopher Meloni on SVU why he's not on the show?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

No, since Christopher Meloni could not come to a contract agreement with Wolf Productions, he had to be written out of the script. At the end of Season 12, in the episode 'Smoked', the character Detective Stabler shoots a a woman in the squad room after the woman shoots two other people. In the Season 13 opener, 'Scorched Earth', Stabler does not appear; the staff discusses how he quit his job over being forced to kill the woman in the previous episode.

Since they chose not to kill off Detective Stabler, perhaps they were hoping to make a deal for guest appearances in the future.

Is Chris Meloni still on Law and Order SVU in the 2011 series?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Christopher Meloni could not negotiate a new contract for season 13 of SVU. The script handled the situation by having his character quit the force. Elliott didn't appear, his resignation was discussed by the other characters so we would know why he wasn't there. That's a good sign because they didn't kill him off. It's possible that, if he can negotiate a contract for guest appearances we may see him on the show again.

Why did Vincent d'Onofrio leave the Law and Order Criminal Intent series?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

This is just one of the many cast shakeups happening to the show. Kathryn Erbe also departs with D'Onofrio, the two remaining original cast members. Julianna Nicholson has also left the show and Mary Elizabeth Mastrantonio has joined the cast as the new captain.

This may not be quite the final curtain for Detective Goren, though. D'Onofrio teased back in September when his departure was announced, "For all my loyal 'CI' fans, I wouldn't be surprised if Goren pops up from time to time."

Note: The USA Network has announced that Season 10 of CI will be its last and that Vincent D'Onofrio and Kathryn Erbe will be making appearances as Goren and Eames. The start date for season 10 has not been announced yet. See the link below to check for updates.

What is the sound effect on the Law and Order theme?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

The sound effect that characterizes the opening and change of scenes on Law and Order is actually a combination of about a dozen sounds that is said to include a judge's gavel banging. The sound is deliberately layered so that no single element is identifiable.

They say it's the sound of a judge's gavel as it echos in the head of the accused.
