Did Vincent d'onofrio leave Law and Order Criminal Intent?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

As he was leaving the show, Vincent D'Onofrio said: "I have always been, and have always viewed myself, as a character actor, and the great opportunity that Dick [Wolf] presented to me to develop the Goren character on 'Criminal Intent' was successful beyond my wildest expectations. After eight seasons, and with the addition of Jeff Goldblum, now is the perfect time for me to explore other acting opportunities and I leave the show knowing it is in great hands with Jeff."

However, at the time of his departure (October 2009), it was rumored that USA Network was only willing to pay Mr. D'Onofrio half his original salary. Needless to say, he declined. Soon thereafter, Kathryn Erbe and Eric Bogosian also quit.

Asked by Wiki User

No, the plot didn't kill off Elliot, they had him quit the department. Actor Chris Meloni could not come to an agreement on his contract so he had to be written out of the story. Perhaps they are hoping to have him back some time in the future, even for just an appearance or two.

Asked by Wiki User

That situation has not happened in any episode. In several episodes they've played a 'couple' for the purposes of investigation. So far, they are coworkers that care a lot about each other but it has not turned into romance.

Why did Bobby leave Criminal Intent?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

In the season 9 episode Loyalty, part 2 (original airdate April 6, 2010), following the death of Captain Ross, Eames is named as Ross' replacement and her first assignment is to fire Goren, due to his suspicious behavior and lack of straightforward answers previously in the episode. Eames does fire Goren, than places her badge and gun on the captain's desk and leaves.

Well, it so happens that the USA Network has an announcement on their site that Goren and Eames will be appearing in their roles in the 2011 season of Law and Order CI. They're also announcing that this will be the final season, which will consist of 8 episodes.
