Jesse L. Martin Leaving ‘Law & Order’

Jesse L. Martin is leaving “Law & Order.”

Since 1999, Martin has played New York police detective Ed Green. Industry trade paper reports say after he leaves the show, he will begin filming the title role in “Sexual Healing,” a movie biography of Marvin Gaye.

A person connected with the show says NBC will air an episode this spring to explain the departure of Martin’s character.

Meanwhile, a source says Anthony Anderson is in talks to take on a detective’s role on Law & Order.
