Gotham Mayor Michael Bloomberg wrapped shooting Wednesday for his network primetime debut: playing himself for an upcoming episode of "Law & Order" set in City Hall.
Hizzoner shot two news conference scenes in City Hall's Blue Room, where he discussed the murder of an assistant district attorney.
As per union rules, the mayor will receive $678 for his appearance, which he is donating to the New York Police and Fire Widows' and Children's Benefit Fund.
The NBC cop drama has long integrated sitting mayors during its 14-year history, though this is a first time producers gained access to City Hall itself.
The "Law & Order" franchise is a mainstay of the Gotham TV production scene, providing more than 5,000 days of work for production crew professionals each season.
Mayor Mike's episode is tentatively scheduled to air March 31. |
