We Bet You Forgot These 5 A-Listers Guest-Starred on Law & Order: SVU
Bradley Cooper and Angela Lansbury in the same SVU episode? Yes, that happened.
With Law & Order: SVU being such a long-running TV show, one could easily forget that over the years, this legendary series has also been graced by some of Hollywood's brightest stars. Let’s take a moment to remember some of the best A-list celebs who've made surprise appearances on the show.
1. Bradley Cooper ( Season 6, Episode 20)
Before he was snagging Oscars, Bradley Cooper guest-starred as a sketchy lawyer juggling the finances of a super-wealthy family on the Night episode. The legendary Angela Lansbury played his character's posh mom trying to cover up her not-so-innocent son's antics. It was a double dose of star power in one episode.
2. Robin Williams (Season 9, Episode 17)
Think you've seen all of Williams' roles? In a memorable 2008 SVU appearance, the late legend took on a unique role of an anti-establishment engineer. It was a treat seeing the comedian-actor blend seriousness with his unique charm, giving a fresh take to an episode that could've easily been a regular procedural storyline.
3. Ludacris (Season 7, Episode 18; Season 8, Episode 22)
The rapper-turned-actor added Law & Order: SVU to his vast resume. He played the angry son of Detective Tutuola's ex, and he wasn't dropping bars but rather serious drama. Appearing in two episodes, Screwed and Venom, Ludacris turned heads with a gripping portrayal of a character battling some serious inner demons.
4. David Harbour ( Season 4, Episode 7)
Before he was battling otherworldly creatures in Stranger Things as Chief Hopper, Harbour appeared on SVU, deeply embroiled in some sinister deeds. Cast as Terry Jessup, a suspect in two gruesome crimes involving little girls, Harbour showed us just how versatile he really was as an actor.
5. Pedro Pascal ( Season 12, Episode 24)
The Mandalorian helmet wasn't the first mask Pedro wore. On SVU, he played an ATF agent with more than just a few skeletons in his closet. Long before his iconic roles in Game of Thrones and The Last of Us, Pedro's stint on SVU gave us a glimpse of the star he would soon become.
