Law & Order
Actor Tambor made appearances on Law & Order and Law & Order: Special Victims Unit as a guest star.Judge Barry Dilwynn, a Surrogates Court judge, is in charge of Senator Randall Bailey’s murder trial. In an attempt to gain notoriety, Dilwynn turned the trial into a whole farce and spectacle by demanding that cameras film the proceedings, indulging in melodrama, and amplifying his compassion for the Bailey family.
Through an effective presentation of the crime’s facts, the prosecution navigated the chaos and persuaded the jury to find the accused guilty. Bailey made threats to have Dilwynn removed from the legal system, and given his flagrant misbehavior, it seemed plausible, but the outcome was unclear. Defense lawyer Lester Cohen has had multiple run-ins with the Special Victims Unit. The people he represents on a regular basis are famous people accused of crimes.

Despite being imprisoned, George goes to great measures to dominate and manipulate his family and makes multiple attempts to avoid being brought to court.
Lucille, his wife and Michael’s mother, is a relentlessly materialistic, viciously manipulative, and hypercritical of every member of her family. She also consumes alcohol on a regular basis. Her youngest son, Byron “Buster” Bluth, is overeducated on a variety of irrelevant topics but devoid of emotional intelligence and common sense, therefore he is the one on whom she has the strongest hold. In addition to being a mother’s son with dependency problems, Buster also gets panic episodes frequently.

He is the television version of Lex Luthor, Superman’s greatest adversary.

Mr. Big Industries also sells Mr. Big’s Big Book of Big Words, a dictionary; Wordsucker, a microphone; Hero Sucker, a massive vacuum; and a Walk and Talk WordGirl Doll, which, contrary to the real super-heroine, uses the word “strategery” instead of “strategy” and allows them to purchase pointless spin-offs like the Official WordGirl Tree-Shaker through mind control.
