Ludacris to Appear on Law & Order: SVU Source: NBC
March 23, 2006
Actor/rapper Chris "Ludacris" Bridges will make his television debut as a guest-star on NBC's Law & Order: Special Victims Unit, episode "Venom" (Tuesday, March 28th at 10 PM ET/PT). 'Ludacris,' who picked up a SAG and Critics Choice Award for Best Ensemble cast for his role in the Oscar-winning Crash, turns in a powerful performance as Darius, a family member of Detective Odafin "Fin" Tutuola (Ice-T).
In taking a role on "SVU," Bridges said, "I have been a fan of Dick Wolf's 'Law & Order' for a long time. When I was approached to work on 'SVU' and read the script there was no way that I could turn down this amazing opportunity. The character was so rich and the storyline so complex that I knew it was something I had to do. I am looking forward to working with the incredibly talented cast and crew at 'Law & Order: SVU' in my continuing quest to learn and grow as an actor."
"We are thrilled to have Ludacris join us as Ice-T's nephew for a groundbreaking episode of 'SVU'. His talent and charisma will guarantee a memorable show," said Executive Producer Neal Baer.
The complex storyline puts Det. Fin in a difficult position, which pits him against his colleagues who suspect his son Ken (Ernest Wadell) in a double homicide. Fin also finds himself in a showdown with his ex wife Terry Randall (Lisa Gay Hamilton), Ken's mother. The story takes an emotional and unexpected turn when Fin discovers a family secret that sheds some new light into his family's relationship with Darius.
"Venom" was written by veteran writer/producer Judith McCreary who has worked on the show in its early years.

Law and Order is one of my favorite shows. I own just about all of the seasons that are available on DVD and it is usually the show that I watch while I am winding down for bed.
Farina Exits, Govich Joins Law & Order Source: The Hollywood Reporter
May 31, 2006
Dennis Farina is leaving NBC's crime drama Law & Order after two years, while Milena Govich, who co-starred in Conviction, Dick Wolf's midseason drama for NBC, has come on board Wolf's flagship "L&O" series.
On "L&O," from Wolf Films and NBC Universal Network TV, Farina played Detective Joe Fontana, who investigated crimes and apprehended suspects with partner Edward Green (Jesse L. Martin).
Farina had succeeded longtime "L&O" star Jerry Orbach, whose character on the show, Detective Lennie Briscoe, transitioned to Wolf's Law & Order: Trial by Jury until Orbach's death in late 2004.
Govich is said to be considered for two roles on "L&O" -- the new partner of Detective Green and a new cop joining the department -- with sources indicating that she likely would fill the void left by Farina and work alongside Martin.
After airing Wednesdays since its launch in 1990, "L&O" will move to Friday in the fall.

I seen the preview tonight is Det. Green's last episode.
I like Jeremy Sisto so the transition will be easier and every time somebody left (Lenny, Bratt, Big) it seemed as though the show would suffer.
But it's a great show that has stood the test of time and I like Anthony Anderson. I liked him in that New Orleans cop show and in most other stuff he's in.
