Did Sam Waterston Have A Stroke?
A debate was started on the internet about Sam Waterston having a stroke a dew years ago which was apparently removed from the long running show, Law & Order.
However, one guy writes in an online discussion. “I don’t think so, but finding out about his health condition is difficult. Sam seemed to be quite discreet about it.”
He has a visible “essential tremor,” but many other underlying causes exist. Once you reach some age, they become pretty standard.
While the other person on the internet says, he has recently learned that Waterson had a mild stroke almost two years ago, although he was not sure where. The anyononomuìous guys wonder why the show would cast him if the actor had such neurological issues in such a significant role.
Similarly, someone says, “I’m a big fan of Law and Order, & I was just telling my son the other day that his speech & demeanor sounded strange.” He’s always had an odd way of speaking, but it seems to be getting worse this season. “I speculated that he might have had a stroke.”
