Last week, Season 27 of Law & Order: Special Victims Unit relaunched with its first episode since November, but it is now being reported that a major change is in the works for the rollout of the rest. NBC has made the call to pull an upcoming episode following reports of criminal charges being filed against guest star Timothy Busfield.
Busfield, best known for his roles in TV shows like The West Wing and thirtysomething as well as movies like Field Of Dreams, was set to appear as a judge in an upcoming Law & Order: SVU chapter titled “Corrosive,” but per Variety, that episode has now been pulled. The reason is because of an arrest warrant being filed in New Mexico that sees the actor/director accused of sexual abuse involving a minor – an accusation stemming from Busfield’s work on the Fox drama series The Cleaning Lady.
