It's our version of the circus coming to town: Law & Order: Criminal Intent filmed near our work this past week. What they would need to do at some undisclosed Midtown location is beyond us, though we were able to find out that the episode will be called (at this point) "Mislabeled" and that it will air on February 22. Gothamist was most interested in the trailers, whose inhabitants' identities were purposefully deceptive. One trailer had a sticker for "Goren" and the other for "Eames."
Now, if you're going to know anything about filming in NYC, production crews will not put their stars' names on the trailers, lest fans swarm the trailer. Instead, they will be put a different name on them, usually the stars' characters names. So clearly, these were the trailers of Vincent D'Onofrio, aka Detective Robert Goren, and Kathryn Erbe, aka Detective Alex Eames.
Kathryn Erbe's trailer was big, but Vincent D'Onofrio's trailer (below) was a much slicker version.
We know what one gets with a scenery-chewing starring role!
Law & Order was filming in rachelle's apartment building. rachelle, that was the time to meet and bother your neighbors.

My favorite thing is when a movie/tv trailer has a "real" house door for an entrance. Sometimes they even have little light sconces or a door knocker. Is that supposed to help stars feel more like they're at home?? Weird.
maybe this is some nyc logic that i'm just not following, but if you're looking to avoid fans knowing whose trailer is whose, wouldn't you pick names other than their character name?
let's say i'm an L&O fan (imagine!) -- would 'briscoe' on a trailer be any less transparent to me than 'orbach'?
what they need is secret code names.
where else but at gothamist could you read an entire page long post about Law and Order trailers? It's insane!
wow... i remember the days of L&O in my backyard... used to live in chelsea before rents got too high. meh. they don't love brooklyn the same way...
If you're a blonde female between the ages of 15-21 and weigh between 200-250 lbs, there's a casting call for Law and Order: SVU with your name on it.

That's true, I would expect a legion of people waiting outside Jerry Orbach's trailer. Maybe he uses the name "Billy Flynn" - the character he played in Chicago on Broadway back in the day.
loved this, geez, I am hooked on this show..and really, Goren/Eames...lol..na, I would never notice...rolling eyes..outta my way..ringing bell, ah, excuse me, could you tell me how to get to...lol, kim
nice write-up until the part "scenery-chewing". why is it always necessary for writer to post that about Vincent? It sounds like I presume it is meant to sound. MAY I REMIND YOU - The show is about HIM, originally written, blessed, by Rene B, to have V as the lead! He is doing his job and well may I say - Goren is well loved by more then the people who need to cut V's characterization of him. What drives you to cut down success! misinformation, jealousy, what? Vincent is working the character as unique, quirky, etc. and he has tons of fans who think this so called "scenery-chewing" is a breath of unique fresh air in many years of BORING TV"
Try something new and unusual, give the actor credit for bringing something DIFFERENT to the usual crap.
oh thanks for the pictures, they at least were an honest representation
yes, I am a fan of Vincents - tired of the back-handed write-up
Wow Just looking at vincent trailer makes my weak heart skpi at beat.My leukemia is still being treated.The gays I have chemo When I get home I just put in criminal inrtnt dvd and vincent takes me along on gorens journey and by ten minutes or so my pain and nausa are gone .I formed my own coping skills that no medicine or doctore could do for me.The more aggressive the treatment the more I lean on vincent and his wonderful talent that brings smiles when there has been tears laughter when there has been crying and happiness when there has been terrior.I have wrirren to wolf films and one of the producers Michael Kewley sent me a criminal inent hat and a letter telling me that three work is not in vain due to the breif molments that they have taken my mind ofoff my pain.I also have written to dick wolf and vincent with no respones yet. though micael kewley told me he praiesd my letter to the New York pruduction office so I will keep praying for my one and only wish to meet mt law and order hero vincent so I can give him a heart fekt thankyou by just doing his job has given he hope and joy.I wrote to jen here at gothamist if she new of anybody to pull some strings to help me get my dream granted. so if anyone out there plaese if you lknow somebody plaese email me and just take a molment and think if you or a love one has been stricken with cancer just the idear of your journey could be brought some light and joy while going through hell it can make the whole differnce in the world.vincent and criminal intent shine light and happiness to me.Thank you Leanne
