This particular episode of Law And Order must have caught someone's attention because five years later Courtney B. Vance was cast in the spin off Criminal Intent as a good guy Assistant District Attorney, But here in Rage, Vance plays an up and coming young stockbroker who gets caught in a nasty scam by his boss and said boss winds up dead.
Vance has a great way with cool and controlled characters be they on either side of the law. It works when he played ADA Ron Carver in Criminal Intent and it works well here as Bud Greer a man who hit upon a really great scam and got caught at it. His attitude of smugness and assumption he's the smartest guy around make Jerry Orbach, Chris Noth and even S. Eptha Merkersen just want to smack him.
Vance's defense is that of black rage, tried most unsuccessfully by Colin Ferguson the perpetrator of the massacre on the Long Island Railroad.
This one is for fans of Courtney B. Vance.
