Things get sort of meta when State Assemblyman Michael Gianaris, who represents Astoria, makes a cameo on Law & Order<\/a>:<\/p>\n

The assemblyman said he will make a cameo appearance in an episode of “Law and Order,” which is scheduled to air on Oct. 6 at 10 p.m. In the episode, Gianaris will be seen at the City Hall Restaurant as the date of female defense lawyer Madchen Amick, whose character has a history with star Sam Waterston’s character.<\/p>\n

But the assemblyman said he does not exactly know the identity of his character on the show.<\/p>\n

“I don’t know if I’m playing myself or a generic guy in a suit,” he said.<\/p>\n

Gianaris said he was asked to do a cameo on the show after having an off-hand conversation with an NBC executive several months ago.<\/p>\n

“He said, ‘You look like someone who should be on TV,’ so I said, ‘You’re the NBC executive, put me on,” Gianaris said.<\/p>\n

While the assemblyman’s cameo is expected to last for just a few seconds, he said he spent three hours doing 10 takes of the scene at City Hall.<\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\n
