Q: My wife and I are disagree on the identification of the prosecutor on “Law & Order,” who is (billed) as Sam Waterston. There is a spokesman on the commercial for TD Waterhouse that my wife says is the same person (Sam Waterston). I say he is not … even though they look alike. (The actor) on “Law & Order” parts his hair on the left side, and the man in the commercial parts his on the right side. Would you clear up this confusion for us and save my marriage? — Jack & Betty McA. Sr.
A: Give your perceptive bride a congratulatory kiss for winning this one, Jack: The two men are the same, that is to say, Sam Waterston.
