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 was with Chris Meloni and Mariska Hargitay, and I remember being a much less seasoned television actor and coming in to do my little guest star spot. And I remember Chris Meloni being really pleased with me: He said, ‘You’re money,’ because I got all my lines right or I brought something to the table and I didn’t take a lot of time. And I remember thinking, ‘Okay, all right, yeah. All right, I know what I'm doing.’ I'm thrilled for them, such a fantastic show, and my God, what a legacy.’
[And then I was another character in ‘Fault’] oh, yeah, that was an intense one. And BD Wong. I love BD Wong; I had so much fun with him. I remember loving that costume. I'm a journeyman character actor for 30 freakin’ years. I've done so many episodes of television. But that one actually does stick out." (Photo credit: Screengrab/NBC)

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