Death has become a prevalent theme of late, has it not?

Here's someone we'll truly miss. Broadway star, Law & Order anchor, and Pax TV staple Jerry Orbach has died of prostate cancer, which he announced he had earlier this month.

Everybody knows his craggy, seen-it-all face from Law & Order, but did you know he was the voice of Lumiere the candlestick in Disney's Beauty and the Beast? Mai, oui!
