George Dzundza (Sergeant Max Greevey) left the series after the first season because he was tired of the commute to New York City from his Los Angeles house. He also bristled at the show's focus on the ensemble over its leads (namely, him). This didn't endear him to said ensemble and he left after the first season. Allegedly he and his onscreen partner Chris Noth (Detective Mike Logan) had a particular antipathy which, fortunately, added depth and realism to the squabbles between their characters. Dzundza was replaced by Paul Sorvino (Sergeant Phil Cerreta), who got along better with the cast but left in the third season because he disliked the show's work schedule and, as an opera singer, he wanted to preserve his vocal cords. Sorvino was replaced by Jerry Orbach (Detective Lennie Briscoe,) and fortunately, everybody loved him, up to and including real New York City Police Department officers.
