Capt. Daniel "Danny" Ross is a fictional character portrayed by Eric Bogosian in the NBC-USA Network series Law & Order: Criminal Intent.
He is introduced in the episode "Blind Spot" as the successor of Capt. James Deakins (Jamey Sheridan). He is given the position of captain of the Major Case Squad as a reward for a successful three-year stint as head of the NYPD's Joint Task Force on International Money Laundering.
Ross takes a more "hands-on" approach to the administration of Major Cases than Deakins. He often goes out into the field, especially for arrests, and occasionally participates in direct interrogations of suspects. He is far less tolerant of the unorthodox methods of Det. Robert Goren (Vincent D'Onofrio), though the two eventually come to a better understanding and relationship. Ross also uses his prior relationship as supervisor to Det. Megan Wheeler (Julianne Nicholson) at the Joint Task Force to keep close watch on "loose cannon" Det. Mike Logan (Chris Noth). In the episode "Rock Star", he remarks that he was at one time partners with Logan's replacement, Zach Nichols (Jeff Goldblum). He frequently lectures his detectives on being kept "in the loop" and updated on every development of each case. In the episode "Purgatory" he assigns Goren to go undercover without telling Goren's partner, Alexandra Eames (Kathryn Erbe).
