'Law & Order' Snags Skeet Ulrich

About a week ago, we were wondering who was going to fill the crime-fighting shoes for Law & Order: Los Angeles. Well, now we have part of that answer.

NBC has locked down Skeet Ulrich for one of the leads. The Scream actor just spent a little time on CSI: NY, and must have impressed a few people. He also has a bit of a TV history, starring on the cancelled cult favorite, Jericho.

According to Entertainment Weekly, Ulrich will play the role of ex-Marine Rex Winters. Five additional roles still need to be cast.
