Who Did Hallee Hirsh Play On Law & Order?

In the case of who Hallee Hirsh played on "Law & Order," there is most assuredly a twist. That's because she didn't just play one role. The actress appeared in two episodes of the show, in two different seasons, as two different characters. Hirsh's first run on the CBS series was brief but helped kick off the entry. In season 8, episode 14, "Grief," Hirsh played Gillian Lanetti, a young girl scolded by her dad for being late to soccer. Then, to make matters worse, the hesitant child athlete stumbles upon a man lying on the ground bleeding, starting up that particular chapter's case.

But Hirsh wasn't done with "Law & Order" yet, and when she returned, it was for a much larger role. In season 10, episode 2 ("Killerz"), the actress took on the part of Jenny Brandt, a troubled young girl who tortured and killed a young boy. While John McCoy (Sam Waterston) and other professionals believe she was at risk of becoming a serial killer because of her behavior, the judge dismissed their efforts to have her locked away in a mental health facility, and she is ultimately released into her mother's custody.

While Hirsh's time in the crime drama may have been brief, it was nothing short of impactful. "Killerz" is not only one of the high-ranking episodes from the show, but it also showcases what many consider to be one of McCoy's best moments on the show, which — considering how many there are — is saying something. She may have gotten away with murder in the series, but she'll have a hard time getting away with not being remembered for her work on "Law & Order."
