NEW YORK -- A stretch of 53rd Street at Eighth Avenue was renamed Monday for Broadway and TV star Jerry Orbach, who died in 2004 at age 69.
Orbach's widow, Elaine Orbach, unveiled the new street sign at a ceremony attended by actors including Richard Belzer and Robert Klein.
Nominated for three Tony Awards, Orbach originated the roles of El Gallo in 'The Fantasticks' and Billy Flynn in 'Chicago.'
He was known more recently as Detective Lennie Briscoe on the NBC television series 'Law & Order.' He also voiced the character Lumiere in the animated film version of Disney's 'Beauty and the Beast.'
