In anticipation of the season finale of Sundance TV’s “Hap and Leonard,” airing Wednesday, April 6 at 10/9c, fans can get their fix of the series’ star, Michael Kenneth Williams, with two throwback episodes of “Law and Order,” where he portrayed Delmore Walton in “Shadow” and Marcus Cole in “A Losing Season.” Available now on Sundance.tv for cable subscribers who receive the network, watch episodes of the iconic series created by Dick Wolf and starring Sam Waterston (The Killing Fields, The Man In The Moon), Sharon Epatha Merkerson (“Pee Wee’s Playhouse”), Jesse L. Martin (“The Flash,” “Smash”) and Jerry Orbach (“House of Mouse,” “Murder She Wrote”). “Law & Order” follows the story of a crime, usually adapted from current headlines, from two separate vantage points. The first half of the show concentrates on the investigation of the crime by the police; the second half follows the prosecution of the crime in court.
Williams stars as Leonard Pine in the critically-acclaimed SundanceTV series “Hap and Leonard.” Set in the late 1980s, the darkly comic swamp noir is a story of two best friends, one femme fatale, a crew of washed-up revolutionaries, a pair of murderous psycho-killers, some lost loot, and the fuzz. Based on the novels by Joe R. Lansdale,the six-hour series event – developed by director and writer Jim Mickle and writer Nick Damici – follows Hap Collins (James Purefoy), an East Texas white boy with a weakness for Southern women, and Leonard Pine (Michael K. Williams), a gay, black Vietnam vet with a hot temper. When Hap’s seductive ex-wife Trudy (Christina Hendricks) resurfaces with a deal they can’t refuse, a simple get-rich-quick scheme snowballs into bloody mayhem.
