Created by Emmy Award-winning producer Dick Wolf, “Law & Order: Special Victims Unit” is the longest-running primetime drama in the history of American television.
As commander of the SVU, Capt. Olivia Benson, portrayed by Emmy and Golden Globe Award-winning Mariska Hargitay, is a seasoned veteran of the unit who has seen it all. She leads with empathy and professionalism, all the while dealing with her difficult past as a product of rape and her responsibility as a trailblazer in survivor advocacy, both of which influence the way she relates to the victims and perpetrators of each case. Olivia Benson is the longest-running TV character in a primetime drama series. As Benson’s second-in-command, Sgt. Odafin “Fin” Tutuola (Ice T) adds a unique sense of humor and undercover investigative experience, making him a formidable match for any partner. Fin is the longest-running male primetime drama character on television. Detective Joe Velasco (Octavio Pisano), after spending years in undercover assignments, must now learn the nuanced and sensitive techniques to working with sexual assault survivors. Assistant District Attorney Dominick “Sonny” Carisi (Peter Scanavino) brings a fresh outlook and distinctive style of investigation to his cases while navigating the politics of the DA’s office.
