What is the connection between these two shows? I watch both of them regularly and have noticed that a lot of the actors that played on Oz also play on Law and Order SVU. Ive counted well over ten guest stars on SVU that were regulars on OZ. Is it the producer or creator??
What a coincidence! I asked almost the same question on the L&O thread. You see it's not just SVU. It's the whole francise. You know Katherine Erbe, on Criminal Intent? She got hung, on Oz.... On Trial by Jury, the latino star was the con that cut the eyes out of a C.O....And surely you remember that J.K.Simmons, the psychiatrist on L&O, is the aryan leader on Oz. However SVU has by far the most. Now if someone would just answer us. PLEASE!!!
Oh , I almost forgot. Remember Wolfe's first series N.Y. Undercover? The Latino female cop, is the Dr. on Oz. So it must be a Wolfe connection, but I've never seen Wolfe's name in the credits of Oz.
There's only one explanation. If you watch enough of them, they'll seem moer convincing. Jeremy Bruckheimer wants your brain.
The producer of all those cop dramas is trying to play with your head, that's all.
Said the pot about the kettle....
FINALLY!!!!........I have an answer. I wrote to the TV column in the NY Daily News, and they answered me basically- "The producer of Oz,and Homicide:Life On The Streets, Tom Fontana, and Dick Wolf of the L&O francise, are good friends"........See, that only took seven months.
