He’ll be replaced by Tony Goldwyn, 63, who will play DA Nicholas Baxter.Waterston took center stage on his swan song episode, entitled “Last Dance,” as Jack McCoy tried the headline-grabbing case of a tech billionaire, Scott Kelton (Rob Benedict), accused of killing a woman named Veronica Knight in Central Park who he allegedly assaulted at a company retreat six years earlier.Kelton was arrested by Detectives Shaw and Reily (Mehcad Brooks, Reid Scott) and taken into custody, where the case fell to ADA Nolan Price (Hugh Dancy).
