Philip Seymour Hoffman's First Ever Scene | Law & Order

Check out this scene from season 1, where alongside Philip Seymour Hoffman, a young Samuel L. Jackson makes an appearance later on. Check out the full video here:

Season 1, Episode 14, The Violence of Summer: When Stone (Michael Moriarty) is forced to dismiss a gang rape case because the victim cannot identify her attackers, the detectives (George Dzundza, Chris Noth) reinvestigate.

Show Synopsis: In the criminal justice system, the people are represented by two separate yet equally important groups: the police who investigate crime and the district attorneys who prosecute the offenders. These are their stories. From Emmy-winning creator Dick Wolf, with its groundbreaking "ripped-from-the-headlines" format, comes the highly-acclaimed, longest-running crime series in television history.

This show and Band of Brothers were basically the entry point for these famous celebrities we know and love today. And I love it.

[Franklyyy]

He was memorable and captivating even with such simple lines and little screen time. What a legend

[Tulane_Gargoyle]

This episode had so many future stars in it. It is insane looking at this episode from 1990 and seeing stars of Pulp Fiction, Capote, Ally McBeale, and China Beach.

PSH is so terribly missed. He could tell a story!

[raguilarc]

[whyitsme]

Not first scene. We first see him threatening his friend in open court.

[AlCafacci]

Wow his voice was different when he was young

Over the past 34 years, this franchise has spawned half a dozen spinoffs and dozens of up-&-coming stars, along with countless mega-guest appearnces. But Law & Order didn't start getting good till Orbach & Watterston, in '93 or so. It's a miracle it survived till then, but the rest is history.

Im sure they couldn't have known how great of an actor he would become. Rip 🙏🏾

[bradlafferty]

Ant Brain was the great Gil Bellows of Shawshank Redemption

-"You're full of it"
- "Watch your mouth"

uhh... This was made for PG network TV, so he IS watching his mouth 😅😅😂

Watch Phillip in “Charlie Wilson’s War.” Masterful performance.

FWIW Hoffman's acting in this episode is used as the anchor for the New Yorker's eulogy of him. I'm a huge fan and I didn't even know about this role.

[morellawalker]

First thing I remember him in was the Talented Mr. Ripley...but he was also amazing in a lesser known film with Deniro called Flawless, as a transgender drag queen saving up for his reassignment surgery... He was incredible!

[judgeboony]

George Dzundza!
Super underrated actor.

[kdmdlo]

Philip Seymour Hoffman and Gil Bellows. Just fantastic.

[mikec]

He's noticeable even in something like this.

[Jgeneraledger]

hahahah, thought FOR SURE that was Officer Tom Cruise for a split-second... how hilarious would that be right

[flyinmanatee]

"Full of It"... wow such rough street lingo.

[michaelgranger]

Does anyone know what streaming app has the original series/seasons?
