Law & Order
Benjamin Bratt
| For four seasons, Benjamin Bratt has portrayed conservative Det. Rey Curtis on Law & Order. Curtis probably would have opposed the actions of Bratt's mom, Eldy, a Native American activist who took her five kids along when she participated in a yearlong takeover of California's Alcatraz Island in 1970. "It was the ultimate playground," says Bratt, 34. These days he gets his kicks out of romancing girlfriend Julia Roberts, whom he reportedly met last November. "All that I have to say about Julia couldn't possibly fit into one or two sentences," says Bratt. "She's an incredible woman."
The buzz: "He's the hunk du jour," says (Washington Post television critic Tom) Shales. |
