Law & Order Star On Potential Return As Abbie Carmichael In Season 22

screenrant.com:

Angie Harmon says she's open to revisiting the classic character of Abbie Carmichael on Law & Order. Harmon played Carmichael on Dick Wolf's long-running crime show from season 9 to season 11, acting alongside Sam Waterston's iconic DA Jack McCoy. Her character often found herself at odds with McCoy and the other members of the team, mainly due to her conservative views, but had a few moments where her political persuasion was budged, such as in season 9, episode 8 'The Punk,' where the testimony of someone she was prosecuting softened her hard edges.

Since appearing in Law & Order, which made her somewhat of a household name, she had a brief period where she appeared in a few films. This included the Frankie Muniz teen comedy Agent Cody Banks, where she played a CIA handler and an appearance as Rose in the revisionist western Seraphim Falls. She eventually returned to television, appearing as Jane Rizzoli alongside Sasha Alexander's Maura Isles in Rizzoli & Isles. Harmon went on to direct the show's 100th episode and picked up a People's Choice Award for her performance. Recently, Harmon appeared in the Lifetime movie Buried in Barstow, part of a multi-picture deal she signed with the channel.
