- Danny Pino, Law Order: SVU, TV, 2011- . With Christopher Meloni quitting and multi-Emmy award-winning Mariska Hargitay reducing her schedule, new blood was required for the 13th season of Dick Wolf’s cop-art. Five actors were flown to New York to test with Mariska and provide, said Wolf, “the opportunity to explore the world of SVU with new eyes.” The biggest star – coming off 151 episiodes of Cold Case, 2000-10 – beat off two previous SVU guests Raymond-Jones, Kevin Ajejandro, plus Rhys Coiro from Entourage, David Conrad of Ghost Whisperer. Meloni returned to the Wolf fold in the 202l spinoff, Law & Order: Organized Crime.
