The Practice was a legal drama created by David E. Kelley that ran for eight seasons from 1997 to 2004 on ABC. The Emmy Award-winning show centered around Robert Donnell and Associates law firm and all of its high profile criminal and civil cases which often reflected what was happening in the news at the time. The show was extremely successful and even spawned a spin-off series called Boston Legal! It’s hard to believe the show has been over for nearly 15 years, so let’s check in and see where the cast of The Practice is now…

8. Michael Badalucco

Michael Badalucco is no doubt best recognized for his role as Jimmy Berlutti on The Practice. This role earned him an Emmy Award back in 1999 and was his first main role in a television series. He hasn’t taken on any other main roles since, but has done numerous guest appearances on other primetime shows, and even reprised his character, Jimmy, for shows like Ally McBeal, Boston Public and Gideon’s Crossing! He co-starred in the films In My Sleep, Finding Hope Now and Rules Don’t Apply, but his career remains mainly on the small screen.
