It’s a new era on “Law & Order” as “Scandal” alum Tony Goldwyn takes over as the new Manhattan District Attorney in Thursday night’s episode and sets a new tone for the D.A.’s office.

In a major cast shakeup, longtime “Law & Order” star Sam Waterston exited the NBC show in the Feb. 22 episode, which saw his character Jack McCoy try his last case and then resign to protect his colleagues Nolan Price (Hugh Dancy) and Samantha Maroun (Odelya Halevi).

Ahead of Goldwyn’s debut on the show, the actor spoke to TheWrap about his character Nicholas Baxter, who he promises isn’t “warm and fuzzy,” and how long he expects to be on the long-running procedural.
