This is NOT a general TV discussion thread.
NYC has a deep pool of actors to choose from!
(You could also probably cross-reference appearances on White Collar and The Good Wife.)
I always look for the L&O credit when I go to Broadway shows, too.
this woman, who has basically played a different maid in every single episode of the Law and Order franchise
I hated not needing to know the actress is or looked Hispanic.
I'm not far enough into OITNB for that be the most informing article, but my favourite is just looking for previous L&O credits on L&O. New York--almost like the UK, acting pool wise, and half as many accents.
But nobody is reduced, recycles, an re-uses like Canada! Especially Vancouver. I met the Vancouver Theatresports travelling team a couple times, and just up to yesterday I was pointing one out on something new (the biggest I remember them getting was one of the Lone Gunmen--the cool one, natch).
I once noticed the same woman playing "grandmother who had no idea her grandson was dealing drugs/guns out of her apartment" in something like three or four different L&O episodes. She had a whole bunch of scenes in at least two of them, and I happened to see them back-to-back in reruns.
They could gather all her characters and have her play her own support group.
I suppose it's too much to ask that she actually be a recurring Fagin-esque ringleader who runs a motley crew of teenage drug dealers/gunrunners while maintaining plausible deniability?
Oh man, now I want to listen to Oliver!
This is her. Looks like she's been in three regular L&Os and one SVU. [link]
Also, does she ever get a first name? Looking through her credits, on various shows she's played Senora Marquez, Mrs. Lopinta, Mrs. Sanchez, Mrs. Fuentes, Mrs. Gonzalez, Mrs. Carmichael, Mrs. Bosch, Mrs. Diaz, Mrs. Lopez, Mrs. Santiago, and Senora Ibanez.
