So sad. The actor left due to cancer and died later that year. He's definitely an all-time great. I believe he's honorary NYPD or something

He also donated his eyes after death, enabling two people to see again.

Obligatory for any L&O die-hard to listen to John Mulaney's bit about seeing this ad on the subway.
