Jeremy Sisco ([Elton from Clueless](http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0005438/)) is the new detective on _Law & Order_??? What comes after ‘jumping the shark’?

I’ve never watched Clueless, but I loved Sisto in Six Feet Under and Kidnapped, so I might start watching L&O again.

I have to agree - He was really great on SFU and I could watch him in anything. He’s a fantastic actor who can bring a real intensity to any role he’s given.

I don’t think ‘jumping the shark’ is the right term to apply to an actor who had a small part in a movie and then went on to be a lead actor on one of the highest rated dramas on TV.

The series may have jumped the shark years ago, but it had nothing to do with the actors.

He’s also doing the voice of Batman in _Justice League: The New Frontier_, which is coming to DVD later this year (and should be the greatest animated superhero film ever):
