LAW & ORDER: SPECIAL VICTIMS UNIT 25th Anniversary: Stars and Guest Stars Recall Their First Days on Set

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…

 “It’s funny, there’s these shows where people…it’s not unlike walking onto the set of [YOUNG] SHELDON for the first time. There’s this TV family. Obviously, on the job, regardless of what you do, when you’re around people more than you are around your own families, sometimes, it gets to be a very tight group. And SVU, that’s exactly what that was. It was a group of people that really enjoy each other’s company. They really enjoy one another. It made for a very relaxed, chilled atmosphere, which you appreciate when you’re just guesting on an episode. And of course, on SVU, the subject matter is going to be absolutely gnarly, like it was in the episode I was in. [But it's really how] mellow that set is, and friendly. And everybody! The whole crew, the producers, the producer directing, it was so mellow.” (Photo credit: NBC)

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