Timothy Busfield's recurring Law and Order: SVU character will have a new face. Us Weekly can confirm that Busfield, 68, has been recast on the long-running procedural series, with David Zayas tapped to replace him. Zayas, 63, is best known for playing Angel Batista on Dexter and its subsequent spinoff series. Busfield's final Law and Order: SVU episode was pulled last month from NBC after a warrant was issued for his arrest on charges of two counts of criminal sexual contact of a minor and child abuse.
