'Law & Order' star Jesse L Martin, who plays Detective Ed Green in the police drama, is leaving the series.
Variety reports that it is expected that 'Transformers' star Anthony Anderson will replace Martin later this season.
Martin has starred in nine seasons of 'Law & Order'.
He is due to shoot one more episode before leaving the series.
Martin is set to play Marvin Gaye in a new film about the last years of the soul legend's life.
'Sexual Healing' will chronicle Gaye's self-imposed exile in Belgium and his return to the big time with the help of promoter Freddy Cousaert (James Gandolfini).
Filming is due to begin in April.
