Jeremy Sisto aka Detective Cyrus Lupo Glad to be Back

Glad to see the series returning once more is Jeremy Sisto.  He has been a part of Law & Order since 2007 and his role is an integral part of the show’s cast.His role of criminal attorney for the defense began in 2007, but when he returned in the next season his role was changed to that of a detective named Cyrus Lupo.  He may have been a replacement for Fred Thompson, who went on to campaign for President when he left the show.
