Mental Floss offers more proof that Law and Order is the greatest film franchise of all time. Take a look at some of the twenty-eight stars who started out on L&O:
Fifteen years before he was clearing space on his bookshelf for a Best Actor Oscar, Philip Seymour Hoffman made his on-screen debut in Law & Order’s first season playing a drug dealer-turned-rape suspect.

A year before he began giving sideways glances to the documentary crew of The Office for nine seasons, John Krasinski was the anti-Jim Halpert when he played a violent—and possibly homicidal—high school basketball player facing off against Vincent D’Onofrio in a 2004 Law & Order: Criminal Intent.
