Ned Eisenberg, who was best known for his work on “Law & Order: SVU,” has passed away.
He was 65.
TMZ reports that his wife, Patricia, said he died over the weekend following a battle with cancer.
"As Ned would say, he was attacked by two very rare assassins — cholangiocarcinoma 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,” she told the outlet.
He appeared in the recurring role of defense attorney Roger Kressler in “Law & Order” and “Law & Order: Special Victims Unit” from 1999 to 2019.
Additionally, he is known for his role of Detective Hauser on HBO’s “Mare of Easttown” opposite Kate Winslet.
