He is one of only four actors to play the same character (D.A. Arthur Branch) in all four Law & Order series: Law & Order, Law & Order: Special Victims Unit, Law & Order: Criminal Intent, and Law & Order: Trial by Jury. The others are Jesse L. Martin (Det. Ed Green), Jerry Orbach (Det. Lennie Briscoe), and Leslie Hendrix (Dr. Elizabeth Rodgers).

Peter Maas wrote the book "Marie" about the Tennessee parole board scandal. Roger Donaldson directed the 1985 movie based on the book. Donaldson consulted with Thompson about who should portray Thompson in the movie. Thompson suggested that he should portray himself. Donaldson agreed, and thus began Thompson's acting career.
