September 20, 2024 by  

LAW & ORDER: SPECIAL VICTIMS UNIT celebrates its 25th birthday on ​​September 20, a remarkable feat that makes it not only the longest-running primetime drama, but also a place literally thousands of actors have worked. (The series has produced over 550 episodes so far.)

Here, a number of stars and guest stars—both past and present—share their memories with Give Me My Remote about their first days on the show’s set…

“Well, first, I was surprised that they wanted me to do it, being a fan of the show. I thought, ‘Oh, do I get to be a killer? Or maybe I’d be the DA and hassle Mariska.’ And they were like, ‘No, you’re sort of comedy relief.’ And I was like, ‘Aw.’ But it was really funny. She was a great character. I had hoped there would be room to bring me back, but it didn’t happen that way. But it was nice to walk onto a show that you’re actually a fan of. That was cool. They treated me like I was a member of the cast, a regular. There were kids running around—their kids. They just wanted to make sure I was welcomed. It was a good experience.” (Photo credit: NBC)

To jump straight to a certain actor, here’s the full list:
