According to The Futon Critic, Adam’s episode of Law & Order, “Submission,” has been bumped from its slot next week. There doesn’t seem to be a new airdate yet, but it’s looking like early March at the earliest.

After the jump, we take a look at some spoilers regarding the casting of the ep and take a stab at sussing out Adam’s character.

Spoiler TV had an unsourced casting breakdown for “Submission,” which apparently involves missing women, wine dealers and dogfights. Adam’s character, “Marty Vance,” is not included. Comparing their info with imdb’s much shorter cast list, we eliminated characters who were on both and cut a couple without names (such as “Arraignment Judge”) or who seemed way far off (assuming they more or less stuck with the criteria given), leaving us with:

Jay Karlin
30s, male. “Master-of-the-universe type”, prosperous wine dealer/consultant/collector. Living well and having fun. His idea of fun is arranging for an improvised dogfight for his friends in the garage of his Upper East Side townhouse. When Nancy Fogel learns that his wine business is a fraud she threatens to blow the whistle on him and he kills her. Lead;

Bill Fogel
30s, male. Another “master-of-the-universe” type. He’s works in real estate and finance. He is in middle of a contentious divorce and suddenly his wife goes missing. Detectives suspect he may have murdered her. Although the evidence against him is thin, the DA decides to go ahead and arrest him. Lead;

Officer Bob Mirvis
40s, male. He an officer with ASPCA Humane Law Enforcement. He participates in the investigation and is anxious to make an example of Mr. Karlin and his choice of entertainment;

Sidekick
30s, male. A radio personality. He’s working with a local shock jock. They are broadcasting live outside the courthouse where Karlin is being arraigned for organizing an illegal dogfight;

Officer Johnson/Officer Murphy
Male, NYPD cops. They are waved down by two pedestrians who ask them for help recovering their lost dog. They find the dog and stumble upon at improvised dogfight;

The character who seems closest to Adam would seem to be “Sidekick,” but the “Shock Jock” doesn’t seem to have been assigned a name on either list, so it seems odd that “Sidekick” would have become “Marty Vance,” not unless the character’s quite a bit more significant than his second-banana status would suggest. One would also think that “Marty Vance” would be “Officer Marty Vance” if any of the three law-enforcement professionals had been renamed.

So that leaves our 30ish “Masters of the Universe,” neither of which are yet listed on imdb. Were they bundled into one “Marty Vance”? Is Spoiler TV’s spoiler just flat wrong? We’ll find out soon enough. Well, not soon enough, exactly, but one of these days. It’s not like NBC has anything else to put on.
