“Law & Order: SVU” star actor Ned Eisenberg has died at 65 after a private two-year cancer battle.
His wife Patricia confirmed his death in a statement to TMZ on Monday 28th February 2022.
“As Ned would say, he was attacked by two very rare assassins —cholangiocarcinoma [bile duct cancer] and ocular melanoma. Over the course of two years, he bravely fought the cancers in private while continuing to work in show business to ensure that his medical coverage paid for himself and his family,” Patricia told the news outlet.
His rep Jeremy Leiner announced that he died Sunday at his home in New York.
Eisenberg is best known for portraying defence lawyer James Granick in “Law & Order” (1997-2009) and defence lawyer Roger Kressler “Law & Order: Special Victims Unit” (1999-2019), and he most recently played Detective Hauser in the 2021 HBO series “Mare of Easttown.”
