Actors Who Appeared On Law & Order Before They Were Stars

Stephen Colbert Did Angry Really Well

Before Stephen Colbert dominated late night television, he was a struggling actor who made an appearance on Law & Order in 2004. He played counterfeiter James Bennett, who nearly took down a Catholic charity. Bennett appeared to be a congenial man but was really a psycho. The character was allegedly based on real-life criminal Mark Hofmann, who forged historical documents relating to the Church of Latter Day Saints. The role is intriguing because it shows Colbert in a very different light. He can be quite intimidating if necessary! These days, he’s the popular host of The Late Show with Stephen Colbert.

Office lovers, did you know before he was playing Jim Halpert, John Krasinski was on an episode of Law & Order?
