LAW & ORDER: SPECIAL VICTIMS Casts Kelli Giddish and Danny Pino

Following the departure of original series star Chris Meloni (Stabler), LAW & ORDER: SPECIAL VICTIMS UNIT has cast Kelli Giddish (PAST LIFE, CHASE) and Danny Pino (COLD CASE) to help fill the void.

While both actors will be portraying detectives, little else is known about their characters. NBC’s press release didn’t include character names or any additional details, but executive producer/creator Dick Wolf said, “I’m very pleased that we have two amazing actors joining the cast. I know this combination will give us the opportunity to explore the world of ‘SVU’ with new eyes.”
