Law And Order: Organized Crime Star Breaks Down Doing A Fight Scene With The 'Legend' Ellen Burstyn: 'It Was Necessary'

Spoilers ahead for Episode 9 of Law & Order: Organized Crime Season 4, called "Semper Fi." The Stabler family is complicated – to say the very least – on Law & Order: Organized Crime in the 2024 TV schedule, and the attempt to stage an intervention didn't exactly go over well. After confirming their suspicions that Joe Jr. was using heroin, Elliot and Randall confronted their brother, tried to talk him into rehab, and then stole his wallet when all else failed. Not to be stopped, Joe went to their mom for money to get out of town. When Bernie didn't have what he needed, a fairly one-sided fight broke out. According to actor Michael Trotter to CinemaBlend, it was stressful to shoot Joe Jr.'s breakdown opposite the legendary Ellen Burstyn.
