"Playing Rollins has been one of the greatest joys and privileges of my life. I've been so fortunate to be a part of the Law & Order family for the last 12 years. There is simply no other character on TV like Rollins. She's grown and changed, and I have as well. I started on this show when I was in my late 20s and I'm grateful I got to spend so many of my adult years with Rollins in my life." (Deadline.com)

Daniels' Jared is "the adventurous, clever, and impulsive twin brother, who has been troubled by anger issues." And Cottrell is "the thoughtful, more rational twin Simon, who is an animal lover - Jared's antithesis in everything.
