Not necessarily, half of Holt's stuff was just being a straight man to the zaniness around him. The dude from Fringe would be a nice "clone" of Holt, but I can only imagine they're going to diverge from replacing him with someone with so many similarities to Andre Braugher though. (delivery method, general look [besides height], etc)
Honestly, I'd love to see (and he was a comedian before SVU) is Richard Belzer. Would allow a complete shift in character from Holt - can be serious, comedic, or maudlin pretty damn well. We really don't need two Holts since Holt is still going to be on the show.
[And wow, following up on the muse - Richard Belzer apparently left SVU after last season - so he'd be free to in theory!]

More likely it is just someone temporary for a couple of episodes, since Holt and Gina can't both be leaving the show at the same time. Particularly not so abruptly and with no send off. I'd imagine we'll see Gina working for Holt in a different office for a bit until he gets transferred back. Hopefully because he's so terrible at public relations.

You are a God damned fool. Holt has been amazing this entire season. You might as well be saying anyone could play anyone. I hope you get a stye on your eyelid.

my understanding is that holt and gina are still on the show and will be shown separately for a few episodes (at least), i suspect the whole thing is an elaborate holt halloween prank
terry crews was also on fallon a few nights ago and mentioned someone leaving, at the beginning of the episode i thought he meant the vending machine

Halloween prank doesn't make sense because piralta didn't know about it till the end. It would have to be a prank on terry and gina, and that makes no sense. I think it's more likely he's got wheels in motion to get the best of the old grackle.my understanding is that holt and gina are still on the show and will be shown separately for a few episodes (at least), i suspect the whole thing is an elaborate holt halloween prank

The guide said the same thing about someone leaving, and that's what I thought too. Maybe it's an elaborate halloween prank on the viewers.

No, it's not because he's the straight man. Straight man just reacts to the goofy people around him. He's been great because he has an amazing flat/dry delivery and perfect timing. It makes him good as the straight man sometimes, but it's what makes him so good no matter what. Look at all his interactions with Wuntch. He's not dealing with someone wacky and over the top, and he's still absolutely hilarious. All the cloven hoof shit etc.
It's just a great character that was castperfectlyand I will be seriously bummed if the promotion isn't just a temporary thing. The character works with everyone on the cast, and when he's with Jake it's by far the best moments of the show.

I think it just depends on your definition of a straight man - I think we've got a different one, bro. All on the same page, just different phrasing.
Let's hug it out.

What part of me telling you to apply your definition (which didn't occur in the first sentence) makes you think I was unaware of the rest of the words? I'm not saying you're completely wrong, but if you consider the great straight men in history I think it might change your mind a little.
