Det. Cyrus Lupo is a fictional character on the long-running NBC series Law & Order. He is played by Jeremy Sisto and replaced Nina Cassady, who was written out of the show due to Milena Govich's departure from the cast.
[edit] Character Development
Prior to his transfer to the 27th precinct, he was a member of the NYPD Intelligence Division investigating terrorist groups, and before that a patrolman in the 27th precinct. In season 18 opener (L&O: "Called Home"), Lupo partners with Ed Green in order to solve the assisted suicide death of his brother. In (L&O: "Misbegotten") a later episode, he takes advantage of an opportunity to learn the names of the practicing psychiatrist's patients by e-mailing himself the patient list on his Blackberry. The evidence obtained was later ruled inadmissible. Lieutenant Van Buren rebukes Detectives Lupo and Green for a "bad search".
While Lupo was still a patrolman, he fell asleep on the job (?) and his partner was shot dead because of it. (L&O: "Illegal").
When Ed Green left, Lupo became the second detective to be promoted from Junior to Senior Partner.
[edit] Personality
Lupo was able to identify a Bible quote as coming from the book of Romans (L&O: "Misbegotten"). Prior to her marrying his brother, Lupo had been involved with his sister-in-law (L&O: "Bottomless"). It was also revealed he is good at reading Spanish and is attending night courses at Brooklyn Law School (L&O: "Illegal"). At the end of the episode "Submission" there was an in-joke in which Lupo was thinking about "getting a dog". The final episode scene is of him taking one home.
