Actors Who Appeared On Law & Order Before They Were Stars

Claire Danes’ Character Got Caught Up In The Wrong Business

Claire Danes blew onto the scene in 1994 in the teen angst drama My So-Called Life. But two years prior to that she got some small-screen experience on Law & Order. She appeared on the episode “Skin Deep.” Detectives Logan and Cerreta were tasked with investigating the death of a fashion photographer. They zoned in on a divorced mom as a potential suspect and were eventually led to her teenage daughter, Tracy, played by Danes. You can guess who the perpetrator was. Danes went on to star in numerous films before landing her current role as a CIA agent in Showtime’s Homeland.
