Dick Wolf’s New York is in need of a new district attorney.
Fred D. Thompson’s five-year run on “Law & Order” came to an end Wednesday, with the actor and former Tennessee senator asking the series’ creator to be released from the show, which has been renewed for an 18th season.
Another type of run may be just around the corner for the 64-year-old Republican, who, after having his name bandied about by conservatives who were still unsatisfied by the already packed race to become the next president of the United States, is inching closer to becoming an official candidate for this country’s top job in 2008.
“Although he told me he has not made a firm decision about his political future, he felt that given the creative and scheduling constraints of the upcoming season,” it was time to go, Wolf said in a statement.
