Camryn Manheim Joins Law & Order Revival as Successor to Lt. Van Buren

Camryn Manheim is the latest familiar face to cop a role on NBC’s upcoming Law & Order revival.

The Emmy Award-winning alum of The Practice, Ghost Whisperer, Stumptown (grr) and Person of Interest will play Lt. Kate Dixon, the successor to S. Epatha Merkerson’s Lt. Anita Van Buren, our sister site Deadline reports. (Merkerson reportedly is not available to be a part of the Law & Order revival, due to her commitment as a series regular on Dick Wolf’s own Chicago Med.)
