Law and Order: SVU’ Fans Hold Back Tears After Mariska Hargitay Posts Heartfelt Tribute.
Law & Order: SVU fans will be thrilled to learn that as amazing as Mariska Hargitay is on-screen as Olivia Benson, she's an even more amazing supporter and friend to the cast and crew long after the cameras turn off.
In fact, folks saw it firsthand last week when Mariska shared a few behind-the-scenes selfies on Instagram celebrating two of her castmates — the beloved Peter Scanavino, who has played Dominick Carisi since 2013, and newcomer Octavio Pisano, who only recently joined the Law and Order: SVU cast as Joe Velasco.
The 59 year old shared the post on February 24 after the release of the 15th episode of season 24. Mariska used her caption to express the respect and admiration she has for the two and their recent performances. "Thank you for trusting me and thank you for just making everything better. ♥️#KingOfTheMoon," she wrote.
