Law & Order Svu star Mariska Hargitay took a break from solving dark crimes on her hit show when she appeared in The Love Guru. The feature was a lighthearted comedy based on a character created by Mike Myers. Myers and Hargitay would eventually become good friends, which led to Hargitay’s involvement in the film.
But when they met each other for the first time, Hargitay didn’t know what to make of Myers.

Myers’ The Love Guru was based on a character the comedian came up with in the 90s named Guru Pitka. Before the character’s cinematic debut, the Austin Powers star spent much of his time workshopping and refining the persona on the comedy circuit. Hargitay once confided that she became a part of the Guru’s comedic act before the pair had even officially met.

All the pieces are in place for Rollins to return if Law & Order: Svu decides to bring her back full-time.
Rollins has helped with a few cases before, but there was a difference: she had a full-time job elsewhere.
On Law & Order: Svu Season 25 Episode 11, Rollins was bored out of her mind during her first day of unemployment, but an Svu case came along. The only thing standing in her way now is Benson.
Mariska Hargitay said in a recent interview that she was lobbying to get Rollins back on set for Season 26. Hargitay had tried to keep the character in the cast when Rollins was written out the first time but was overruled.
No new deal has been inked yet, but Svu did a great job setting everything up so Rollins can either recur more regularly or return to Svu.

“Law & Order: Special Victims Unit” star Mariska Hargitay gave a powerful speech on Thursday in New York during Variety‘s Power of Women event, presented by Lifetime. The two-time Emmy winner, who celebrated 25 years of “Svu” this year, was honored at the event for her work as an advocate for sexual assault survivors.
Hargitay took the stage at the Cooper Hewitt, Smithsonian Design Museum following an introduction by her close friend, Glenn Close. After many years of acting, “she still finds the heart, the art and the power in her craft,” Close said of Hargitay.
With the New York rape conviction for Harvey Weinstein recently overturned, Hargitay themed her speech around the impossibility of reversing her own strongly-held convictions about listening to survivors and fighting back.

Though Hargitay’s in the middle of shooting a scene from “Law & Order: Special Victims Unit,” she doesn’t hesitate. She scoops up the child and begins circling the playground looking for the missing mom.
She doesn’t stop to think about the cast and crew, all of whom are waiting at the other end of the park, hoping to finish the scene before the sunlight reappears from behind the clouds.

Law & Order Svu has put its cast through some difficult episodes. Actors like Mariska Hargitay have been very candid in the past about how the show’s darker subject matter affected her. But Kelli Giddish might’ve been even more disturbed by certain episodes, especially ones involving children.
How Kelli Giddish dealt with the tougher episodes of ‘Law & Order Svu’ Kelli Giddish | Arturo Holmes/WireImage
Giddish knew what she was signing up for when she was first cast in Svu. She’d already guest-starred on Law & Order Svu as another character four years prior to landing the role of Amanda Rollins. She even appeared in Wolf’s other spin-off Criminal Intent. But guest-starring on the show was much different than being a series-regular.
As detective Rollins, Giddish was consistently exposed to more than a few haunting crimes. Some of which could be hard to shake off when Giddish could relate to them personally.

Law & Order Svu did a lot for Ice-t’s acting career when casting him on the show way back in 1999. But it was a good thing Ice-t was cast in his more mature years. If he was approached for the show when he was younger, he might’ve turned it down.

Ice-t is one of Svu‘s veterans, having been a part of the show from the beginning. Acting wasn’t anything new to Ice-t when he was first approached for the project. But the series’ creator Dick Wolf was concerned Ice-t would have issues with playing a police officer.

Reps for Peacock, NBC, producers Universal Television and executive producer Dick Wolf declined to comment, as a deal has yet to officially close.
Marking a return to the L&o world for franchise favorite Chris Meloni, Organized Crime has overperformed on Peacock with the streamer serving as the streaming home for all things Dick Wolf. Once the deal is formalized, Peacock will now have a Wolf original series to go with next-day episodes of NBC’s already renewed L&o flagship as well as Svu. NBC renewed five of its six Wolf-produced procedurals in March, leaving Organized Crime on the bubble and prompting fan campaigns to save the show.

Mariska Hargitay is a real-life detective in some people’s eyes!
While filming one of the final episodes of Season 25 of Law & Order: Special Victims Unit on April 10 in New York City, the 60-year-old actress was approached by a little girl who believed her to be a real police officer based on the badge she was wearing as part of her character’s outfit.
An eyewitness told People that the little girl had been separated from her mother in the Anne Loftus Playground in Fort Tryon Park and went to Mariska for help, who stopped production for 20 minutes and helped the child find her mother, consoling them both.

Olivia Benson to the rescue! Mariska Hargitay isn’t a real-life cop, but that didn’t stop her from stepping into protector mode when a little girl needed help. The Law & Order: Svu star was filming an episode of the popular NBC drama in a New York City park when a child who’d been separated from her mother mistook her for an actual police officer.
Hargitay apparently didn’t miss a beat when the girl approached her, according to reports. She swiftly paused filming to help the child find her mom, with whom she was soon reunited.

Law & Order: Svu is taking Maddie’s (Alison Elaine) kidnapping case—which haunted the squad, especially Captain Olivia Benson (Mariska Hargitay) —to trial, with a twist! In the April 18 episode, “Combat Fatigue,” the squad is on edge. “It’s going to start off with a twist. You might be like, ‘Oh no, they put the end of the episode at the beginning,'” Peter Scanavino (who plays Ada Sonny Carisi) tells TV Insider. “But what you think is the end is just the beginning, and it just gets kind of weirder and weirder from there. And you really get to see the insane psychology behind George from Canada.” This trial will challenge Carisi, especially when it comes to “going up against somebody that is unorthodox but still trying to do that within the rules of the criminal justice system,” teases the star. As a sneak peek, which you can watch above,...

Law & Order star Mariska Hargitay lost her mother Jayne Mansfield in a car accident when she was just three-years-old. But it wasn’t until much later on in life that she started truly processing her grief.
How Mariska Hargitay learned she was grieving her mother at a later age Mariska Hargitay | Axelle/Bauer-Griffin/FilmMagic
It took some time for Hargitay to learn how to properly deal with the loss of her mother. It wasn’t an overnight process, and required trial and error for the actor to address her feelings.
“The way I’ve lived with loss is to lean into it,” Hargitay once told People. “As the saying goes, the only way out is through. In my life, certainly I’ve tried to avoid pain, loss, feeling things. But I’ve learned instead to really lean into it, because sooner or later you have to pay the piper.

One of the many joys in watching Law & Order: Svu is trying to spot hometown New York City locations seen in the long-running series. Stars have played countless scenes throughout NYC, from Olivia Benson’s home borough of Manhattan to Elliot Stabler’s turf in Queens, where his family once lived. Ada Sonny Carisi is from Staten Island, and new team member Terry Bruno came from the Bronx Svu. Many cases have also involved places in Brooklyn. Residents and visitors to New York frequently stumble upon the cast and crew filming on the city’s mean streets, and there’s always a chance of glimpsing Captain Benson (Mariska Hargitay) and her crew doing what they do best: solving crimes and protecting victims. Below, we highlight just a few of the real (and fictional) locations the hit procedural has used over the past 25 years. Benson’s Apartment (203 W. 89th St.

Law & Order Svu may have lost Christopher Meloni at one point. But his absence allowed for Mariska Hargitay to tinker around with new storylines, some involving potential love interests for her character. But there was one on-screen romantic partner that Hargitay may not have appreciated breaking up with.

Law & Order Svu stars Mariska Hargitay and Chris Meloni have been shipped by fans for years. But in real life, Hargitay’s already been paired with her husband for 19 years Peter Hermann. But Hermann has been well aware of the bond between Hargitay and Meloni, and had a very understandable reaction to it.

Meloni and Hargitay have known each other far longer than she and Hermann have. The two signed on to Law & Order Svu in 1999 after screen testing together. They would grow closer over the years before Meloni’s departure from the show in 2011, but still seemed to remain good friends. Given their closeness, some have wondered if Hargitay and Meloni ever dated in real life.

Maybe the third time’s the charm? Kelli Giddish is returning for a third time to Law & Order: Svu since her exit in the middle of Season 24 (let’s not count her Organized Crime episodes for the sake of the argument). She’ll be reprising her role as Amanda Rollins, Svu detective-turned-criminology professor, in the 11th episode of Season 25. There are not yet details available about what brings her back this time, but thanks to photos Mariska Hargitay (who plays Captain Olivia Benson) shared, we know that Giddish is currently filming. Giddish left in the ninth episode of Season 24, then returned later that season for its finale. She also guest-starred in the Season 25 premiere. And a common thread of both appearances is that she’s not exactly thrilled with her new position. In fact, our biggest question heading into Season 25 was if Svu would ever address that.

It’s Svu’s groundbreaking 25th season, and there’s something special in the air. “This is a historic, unprecedented year and an amazing gift for the fans, especially those that have been with the show for so long,” promises co-showrunner Julie Martin, who has been with the drama since 2011. A lot is familiar in this landmark season as the Special Victims team tracks down the perps of heinous sex crimes and metes out the usual much-deserved justice. But within the tried-and-true formula, the episodes also delve into self-reflection, healing, and life-changing decisions. For instance, the third installment has a rare uplifting ending, when insecure dermatologist Vincent Prochik not only accepts that he was raped, but also goes undercover and triumphantly helps take down the culprits, thereby transforming himself. Capt. Olivia Benson (Mariska Hargitay) really does the heavy lifting, however, as the savior of many abused victims finally gazes inward to try to save herself.
