Remember what a jerk Eriq LaSalle was as Dr. Peter Benton on
ER? You know, a real hard-ass. Well, it turns out his dynamic performance as that character may be because he wasn't acting. At the
Hallmark Channel press tour,
LaSalle got ticked off when asked about ER.
He was meeting the press to answer questions about his TV movie,
Relative Stranger, which will air next January. When LaSalle noticed that there were a plethora of questions about
ER -- for him and co-stars Michael Michele and Michael Beach, both of whom had also been on NBC's long-running medical drama -- Eriq flared.
"Okay, I mean look, it was a defining moment, you know, for a lot of us as artists. You know, it was a show that was a little bit ahead of its time. We had a great time doing it. I don't know what else to say. I talked about the show so much. I prefer to talk about
Relative Stranger."Continue reading Stop asking Eriq LaSalle about ER

"That's fine. X-files are the next wing over."-- Dr. Samira TerziTonight was apparently the "stand-up" episode of

House. I guess "Whatever it takes" referred not only to medicine but to extorting laughs. It's a good thing it had so many zingers in it, because that was one of the only likable things about the episode.

Eriq LaSalle, who played Doctor Peter Benton on ER from 1994 to 2001, returns to NBC's prime-time schedule in January. This time, though, he won't be acting. Rather, he will be behind the cameras as he directs an episode of Law & Order: SVU.
LaSalle will be reunited with SVU cast member Mariska Hargitay, who portrayed Cynthia Hooper during the fourth season of ER, and Michael Michele, who played Doctor Cleo Finch (and Benton's girlfriend) for two seasons on the medical drama. In the episode itself, which will air January 9th, a messy marital estrangement and subsequent custody battle (are there any others on SVU) will pit Valerie Sennet (Michele) against her estranged husband Miles Sennett (Blair Underwood) and result in some secrets being discovered by detectives Benson (Hargitay) and Stabler.
