As LAW & ORDER: SPECIAL VICTIMS UNIT wraps up its historic 25th season (on Thursday, May 16 at 9/8c), it also marks a personal milestone for series star Peter Scanavino: his tenth season on the show.
“God, personally and professionally, it completely changed my life,” Scanavino, who plays ADA Carisi on the NBC drama, tells Give Me My Remote. “It’s so funny, because I got on the show, when…I’d been married, maybe, a couple of years and we just had a kid. It felt like I was really starting my adult life, in a sense…and [then] the show came. So it’s so interwoven with my life for this past decade. It’s been such a big part of it. But it’s been really incredible and it’s meant so much to me. It’s been such a blessing and a gift, personally and professionally.”
