And we didn’t know until our mom told us. Yes, Adam appeared in last night’s new installment of the Law & Order: Criminal Intent saga, “The Mobster Will See You Now.” Definitely worth catching for the Adam faithful since he’s got a fairly large guest-starring role in this one and goes toe-to-toe with fellow student of Sanford Meisner Jeff Goldblum.

It’ll be airing again on Monday, June 28th at 5:00 PM on USA and can be purchased at Amazon Video on Demand for $1.99 iTunes for $1.99 ($2.99 for high-def).

THE MOBSTER WILL SEE YOU NOW (#CI9013)
EPISODE PREMIERE: June 22, 2010

Several years ago, two doctors struggled to realize their dream of owning a hospital. In order to secure financing, DR. JOEL SILVERSTEIN and DR. SHELTON SPRING were forced to turn to a friend – HENRY DI PIANO, entrepreneur and son of a renowned mob boss. Henry, in his own desire to become an honest businessman, convinced a group of retired mobsters to invest in the endeavor.

The plan worked beautifully, until one day LES TARNEY, a mid-level government official with the Department of Health and Human Resources, came to pay doctors Silverstein and Spring a visit. As it turns out, the doctors had been overcharging their patients for routine procedures. Instead of turning them in, Tarney has decided to blackmail the doctors. They complied, terrified at what will happen should their mob financiers discover the scandal. Just when all seems lost for the doctors, a miracle occurs. Les Tarney chokes on his own dinner. Unfortunately for them all, Nichols and Stevens see Tarney’s death for what it really is – murder. Before their investigation is over, more than one innocent will pay the price for their crimes.

The April 26th showtime has been changed, again, from 4 PM to 6 PM. Sigh.

Update (April 7, 2008):
Just a quick note to our readers that there are some nice tips in the comments section with regard to buzz that’s starting around the film and some behind-the-scenes footage that’s leaked out. Due to time constraints on our end, we may not be able to post on everything (we can’t compete with Mariah’s legion of fans), but we do appreciate our readers passing on whatever choice tidbits they can find. Thanks to Jeane and Jay for their fine sleuthing.

With advance apologies for the poor editing, we’ve thrown together a few minutes’ worth of Adam’s appearance on Law & Order tonight. Click on the above to view.

Update:
For anyone who missed the show, Television Without Pity’s recap is up and running.

Update (March 19, 2008):
NBC’s 2-Minute Replay is also up and running.

Just a quick programming note to remind everyone that Adam’s Law & Order episode will be airing tomorrow night, Wednesday the 12th, at 10 PM ET on NBC (click on the above image featuring someone who might be Adam to watch the preview).

Adam’s Lipstick Jungle debut as “a kindergarten teacher with an empathetic smile and gorgeous eyes” now has an airdate and a synopsis. “Carpe Threesome,” Chapter Seven of the series, is set to air on Thursday, March 20th, at 10 PM ET on NBC, a week and a day after his scheduled Law & Order appearance. He’s not mentioned in the synopsis that we pulled from TV Central’s Lipstick Jungle forum, but the other new characters mentioned can be found in the same casting notice as Adam’s, so it’s probably the right episode.

20 Mar 07 Chapter Seven: Carpe Threesome
Wendy (Brooke Shields) is dealing with a very difficult scriptwriter, Lorraine Lippman (Marsha Mason), who cannot seem to put an ending to her movie. Wendy makes a bold move and tells production to move forward, leaving it up to her to get the final script from Lorraine in time. Nico (Kim Raver), still very caught up in her dual life with Kirby, faces a harsh reality when she receives news that Charles (Chris Cousins) has had a heart attack. The scare makes her realize how much she misses her marriage and brings her life back into perspective. What will this mean for Kirby? Elsewhere, Victory (Lindsay Price) is getting used to the idea of Joe Bennett (Andrew McCarthy) as her boss instead of her boyfriend. Hockey superstar, Chris “Parks” Parker (Bobby Cannavale) and his wife grow very fond of Victory. The relationship heats up, which puts Victory in a very compromising position.

For the Tennessee completist, we’ll just pass on the tip that Mariah’s been chatting a bit about her recent film projects during the promotional swing for the musical part of her career, as in this Access Hollywood clip in which she discusses how her previous cinematic missteps have informed her current choices.

According to Alana Addiction, NBC has finally scheduled Adam’s Law & Order episode for March 12th. The synopsis below suggests his character, “Marty Vance,” is the “Bill Fogel” of the casting notice, described as a “‘master-of-the-universe’ type.”

As for the status of Adam’s other projects, assuming that he won’t appear on Lipstick Jungle until episode 7, that looks to be around March 20th at the earliest and Tennessee remains in a holding pattern, tentatively scheduled for a Spring 2008 release.

“Submission” DOG FIGHTING; A WINE DEALERSHIP AND AN OVERZEALOUS REPORTER: LARA FLYNN BOYLE GUEST STARS – The police break up a dog-fighting ring, and discover a woman’s finger inside one of the dead animals. The finger is identified as belonging to Lauren Vance, soon-to-be ex-wife of Marty Vance (guest star Adam Rothenberg), after her body turns up near a dog breeder. Since Lauren and her husband were in the process of divorce proceedings, Detectives Ed Green (Jesse L. Martin) and Cyrus Lupo (Jeremy Sisto) initially suspect Marty as the brutal murderer. Marty was involved in the dog-fighting ring with friend and business partner Jay Carlin (guest star David Harbour), an extremely wealthy wine dealer. As the investigation unfolds, the detectives plot to trick an ambitious reporter, Dawn Talley (guest star Lara Flynn Boyle), who uses her sexuality to try to break the case. Turns out Jay’s business is a scam, which leads prosecutors Michael Cutter (Linus Roache) and Connie Rubirosa (Alana De La Garza) to a new suspect. Also starring: Sam Waterston and S. Epatha Merkerson.

Thanks, as always, to fellow Apple staffer dogra for the spiffy title suggestion. You’ve done it AGAIN!

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.

MovieWeb has extended versions of the interviews and behind the scenes footage from the Starz! On the Set show up and running. The following have Adam-related content to check out:

     Adam Rothenberg
     Callie Khouri (talks about Adam and the other men of Mad Money around the 1:08 mark)
     Katie Holmes (talks about the MM men around 2:02 and Adam in particular around 2:30)
     Behind the Scenes Footage #1
     Behind the Scenes Footage #2
     Behind the Scenes Footage #4

Just a quick update regarding Adam’s upcoming Law & Order turn, Wikipedia now lists the airdate for his episode, “Submission,” as February 6, 2008. Fun fact: It’s the series’ 400th episode!

We’re heading into the home stretch for Mad Money (46 long days away!), so let’s take a spin through all the latest Adam Rothenberg developments.

The eighteenth season of the apparently unkillable Famous Original entry in the Law & Order franchise will benefit from a very special appearance by our Adam, along with Lara Flynn Boyle and new series regulars Jeremy Sisto and Linus Roache. L&O’s making a comeback to Wednesday nights on NBC starting on January 2nd, so Episode #7, “Submission,” should appear sometime in March, but we’ll keep our readers updated when we get a definite airdate.

A little clip of the Boyle character is featured in the series preview on NBC’s website, which, coupled with the episode title, should give the spoiler-inclined a fair chance at figuring out the basic premise.

More updates after the jump.
