There's a TV Guide tribute to the 20th anniversary of Law & Order on the stands. On page 27, Angie Harmon says:

"Jerry Orbach had the most wonderful sense of humor. I didn't know he had played Lumiere in "Beauty and the Beast" until one day on set he did one of his lines in that accent and I turned around and almost jumped on him! I was like 'Oh! Lumiere!' because the Disney cartoon was one of my favorites. I just lost my mind. I made him sing the song all the time. It was a wonderful time in my life: I took away something from every one of the actors I worked with. Epatha taught me, no matter how tired I am, to always hang up my wardrobe. Sam taught me to know my scenes and not to come to the set with my script. Jerry taught me that even when I was exhausted, instead of grousing, say something funny, because everybody else was just as tired."

I immediately thought of the Ricardo Montelban story. I think that when you are a regular in a TV show, fatigue and boredom become big factors and humor is an antedote for them. But Ricardo's story shows that sometimes it can go too far and be unfair to the guest actors.
