Law & Order SVU
NBC Wednesdays
Law & Order SVU follows the cases of NYPD’s Special Victims Unit as
detectives deal with rape, child abuse and other heinous crimes. On the
air for 10 years, SVU is one of TV’s longest running dramas. The men of
Law & Order SVU include Christopher Meloni as Detective Eliot Stabler,
Richard Belzer as Sgt. John Munch, Ice-T as Det. Odafin ‘Fin’ Tutuola,
B.D. Wong as Dr. George Huang and Dan Florek as Capt. Donald Cragen. Adam
Beach also had a season as Det. Chester Lake.
Shirtless Danny Pino has become the newest cast member of the long running TV series Law & Order: SVU. He is playing the role of Detective Nick Amaro and a replacement of Christopher Meloni who left the program last season. As a viewer, it stinks how Meloni left the show, absolutely no closure. It is going to be hard for Pino to fill his shoes.
Christopher Meloni has played Detective Eliot Stabler on NBC’s Law & Order SVU for 12 years, but rumors are swirling that this will be his last season on the show. He reportedly told an Australian newspaper he was leaving after this season, though NBC reps denied it. I guess we’ll see come May. SVU just wouldn’t be the same show without Eliot.
Michael Weston’s main role is as Lucas Douglas on House M.D. Ironically, he had a guest spot on Burn Notice, where the main character’s name is Michael Weston played by Jeffrey Donovan. Weston also had a short run on Law & Order SVU as Oliva’s half brother Simon Marsden.
Scott Foley recently had a guest stint on Cougar Town as Jules’ grown up love interest Jeff. We got some great shirtless scenes in the 3-episode deal but it doesn’t look like he’ll be back. Jules is after all, a cougar and needs a cub.
You might also recognize Scott Foley from a recent guest spot on Law & Order: SVU and his roles on The Unit, Felicity and Scrubs.
I have to admit, when Shirtless Ice-T joined the cast of Law & Order SVU as Detective Odafin “Fin” Tutuola, I wasn’t impressed. Over the years, though, his acting has improved and his character has developed and I kinda dig him now. He doesn’t have the body of LL Cool J (another rapper turned TV star) but he still looks pretty hot shirtless. His real name, by the way, is Tracy Morrow.
With his sexy “Tough Guy” look, Christopher Meloni is a fan favorite of both men and women. He’s best known as Eliot Stabler on NBC’s Law & Order SVU, but his hotness factor rose significantly when he did some full frontal nude scenes for his role on HBO’s OZ.
Prior to his acting career, Meloni was a bouncer, construction worker, and personal trainer. He was a football quarterback at his Washington D.C. high school.
