Benjamin Bratt Former "Law & Order" actor Benjamin Bratt is crediting his role in the hit television show with giving him a "lifetime cinematic immunity pass" with the police. The star is insisting he always escapes tickets because of his huge cop fan base. The star played Detective Rey Curtis in the series in the 1990s. He quit in 1999 to pursue a film career, but returned to the role for a one-off guest appearance in 2009. He told the New York Daily News , "(I have a) lifetime cinematic immunity pass. If I get stopped for making an illegal left turn, or for exceeding the speed limit, I'll hand over my ID and when the police see my clean-shaven face on the license, they say, 'Hey Curtis, just slow it down next time, will you? And can I have your autograph?" Photo By: Sara De Boer/Retna
