Deception
(50%)
The article is deceptive in several ways. Firstly, it states that Sam Waterston has been a main cast member of Law & Order since 1994 and remained so until the show's original run ended in 2010. However, this statement is false as Waterston left the series after its fifth season (in 2005). He only returned for the revival in Season 23 (which aired from September to December of 2019) and again during Season 24 which started airing on January of this year. Secondly, it states that Waterston has played Jack McCoy since he joined Law & Order in 1994. However, the character was originally portrayed by Michael Jeter from season one to season four (from September 1987 to May 2003). It is only after Jeter's death that Waterston took over the role of Jack McCoy. Lastly, it states that Tony Goldwyn has been cast as the new district attorney. However, this statement is also false as Goldwyn was actually announced in December 2019 to replace Jefferey Donovan who had left due to creative differences and not because he was being replaced by another actor.
