The New JAG

Replacing the departed Adm. A.J. Chegwidden on JAG is Marine Maj. Gen. Gordon "Biff" Cresswell (David Andrews). In tonight's episode, covering the JAG appointment hearings, Cresswell proved himself a man of few words, yet readily able to answer hard questions from a Senate panel.

I wondered who would step into the likeable Chegwidden's shoes as I'm sure LAW & ORDER fans wondered about Dennis Farina replacing Jerry Orbach. I've been a fan of Andrews since he played Det. Bobby Mann, partnered with android Eve Edison (Yancy Butler) in MANN & MACHINE (from a pre-L & 0 Dick Wolf). Can't wait to watch him interact with Harm and Mac, who, during Cresswell's confirmation, were investigating an incident at sea.
