After weeks of speculation about his fate, "Law & Order" star Jesse L. Martin has agreed to return next season for at least 13 segs of the long-running show.
In advance of May's last-minute deal to save the show, there had been word that Martin would be leaving whether or not it was renewed. Ultimately, however, Martin and his team were able to work out a compromise with "L&O" creator Dick Wolf.
While Martin is signed on for only 13 segs, there's a provision for him to do more. He's played Det. Green on the show since 1999.
Deal to bring back Martin, even in a diminished role, comes after a slew of cast changes on "Law & Order." Fred Thompson is ankling for a likely presidential bid, while Milena Govich is out after just a year on the series.
'Shark' chief in Fox's tank
Biederman signs deal with studio
By JOSEF ADALIAN
Twentieth Century Fox TV will be swimming with "Shark" creator-showrunner Ian Biederman for up to three more years.
Studio has signed the scribe to a rich two-year overall deal, with an option for a third. Deal, his first overall pact with 20th, keeps Biederman aboard as "Shark" showrunner and includes a provision for developing projects.
Move to lock up Biederman's services comes after James Woods starrer "Shark," a collaboration between 20th and Imagine Television, marked one of the few frosh success stories of the 2006-07 campaign. It's also the only CBS series from last fall to receive a full-season renewal."Ian has created a larger-than-life character in Sebastian Stark that not only earned him a pilot order from CBS but captured the imagination of the amazing Jimmy Woods, a feature actor who'd never done a television series," said 20th Century Fox TV prexy Dana Walden. "The result was this year's most watched new drama and a hugely important series to the studio and to CBS."
Biederman said 20th has been "supportive all the way through" the development and evolution of his series. "They and Imagine were at the ground level trying to make things work," he added.
Scribe said his goal for season two of "Shark" is to broaden the show beyond its procedural roots.
"We want to make it a combination of provocative drama and interesting characters," he said. "We want to make it not just a procedural."
Among the planned changes come fall: Jeri Ryan's character will ditch the D.A.'s office and join the legal team headed by Woods' character. "These two guys have a great chemistry, and we want to put them in a lot more scenes together," he said.
Biederman also wants the show to be more of an ensemble, and thus plans to give the supporting cast meatier storylines. The character of Woods' ex-wife will also return.
During a phone interview with Daily Variety last week, Biederman was on a break from ... jury duty.
"It's bitterly ironic," the scribe said of his unplanned detour into the real criminal justice system.
Biederman had thought he wouldn't land on a jury given that he writes a TV show which paints prosecutors in such a positive and heroic light. Instead, he ended up on a trial that, as of last Friday, was expected to take nearly a week to complete.
Before creating "Shark," Biederman worked on "Law & Order: Special Victims Unit," "Crossing Jordan" and "Party of Five." His first big TV gig was a three-year stint on 20th/David E. Kelley-produced "Chicago Hope."
Biederman is repped by Paradigm.

Is Rosie right for 'Price'?
Barker pitches O'Donnell for gameshow
By MICHAEL LEARMONTH
Rosie O'Donnell has begun campaigning to become the next host of "The Price Is Right," days after retired host Bob Barker endorsed her for the job.
Execs at FremantleMedia North America, however, which owns the show, have told insiders that they don't have much interest in seeing her come aboard.
And sources close to O'Donnell believe that while she loves the idea of doing the show, it's unlikely she would uproot her family and move to the West Coast, where the show is produced.
Yet asked by a fan on her personal blog, O'Donnell seemed enthusiastic about hosting the show. "If they asked me, I sure would," she wrote.
On her blog, O'Donnell indicated a meeting would take place this week. "Rosie is meeting with several networks about a lot of different things," said spokeswoman Cindi Berger.
If O'Donnell does audition, she will be the first woman to have taken the mic on the Bob Barker Stage at CBS Television City and tried her hand at explaining the rules of "Plinko."
Others who have auditioned include "CBS Early Show" weatherman David Price, "Entertainment Tonight" co-host Mark Steines, Mario Lopez, George Hamilton, John O'Hurley, Todd Newton, Mark Kriski of L.A.'s "KTLA Morning News" and, most recently, Ian Ziering, who auditioned last week.
Barker endorsed O'Donnell backstage at the Daytime Emmys Friday night and told reporters that CBS had approached the former moderator of "The View" to become the next host of the durable gameshow.
"I believe they're going to have a meeting with Rosie," Barker told the Associated Press after winning his 19th Emmy. "There's no doubt in my mind she could do the show. Now, whether they want a lady host, I don't know."
Asked by a fan on her blog if she had read Barker's comments, O'Donnell replied, "I know. Fantastic. I love 'The Price Is Right.' "
It's crunch time for CBS and Fremantle as a new season of "Price" starts shooting at the end of July and they're still without a host to replace Barker, who retired Friday at the age of 83. At least 10 different potential hosts have auditioned so far.
CBS declined to comment on any overture to O'Donnell or any other part of the "Price" audition process.
There's little doubt the gamer would receive huge amounts of publicity and possibly a ratings bump with O'Donnell named to take over for Barker, but CBS and Fremantle may not want to deal with the controversies that often accompany her as well.
