- 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, said Wolf, provide “the opportunity to explore the world of SVU with new eyes.” The biggest star – coming off seven seasons episodes of Cold Case, 2000-10 – beat off previous SVU guests Ajejandro and Michael Raymond-Jones, plus Rhys Coiro from Entourage and David Conrad of Ghost Whisperer. Meloni returned to the Wolf fold in the 202l spinoff, Law & Order: Organized Crime.
