Opening Credit Cast Member Screen Shots

Cast Members, Original Series

Breaking up with one's girlfriend gives you time to do all sorts of important things, such as taking a screenshot of every one of those "cast in motion" shots at the end of the opening credits on Law & Order.

View the files in the open directory, or via this gallery. (Click to enlarge.)

Below the photos is a textual guide to all of the cast changes over the years.

There is something eerie about the visual replaceability of each of the cast members. Note the transitions between seasons 1 and 2, and also seasons 4 and 5. Barely perceptible.

Here is a table I made a while ago showing the cast changes:
