The SVU rule is whoever is suspect in the first scene is really it. Is there something that we know and you don’t and then we wait until you figure it out? SVU has to figure out a way so we don’t know that that’s the killer. You always get to meet new people and that’s what makes it exciting. It’s like who’s coming to the party this week. Because now we’re used with acting with each other but then they throw up a new person in. Ice-T: And the fun is getting the guest stars. We’re like “Huh? What were you saying five minutes ago?” Like if we’re not moved then we’re not. And thank God because as actors we just get so bored.
You know, like we have to stay the same character but it’s something new every single day. KG: But we don’t have to say the same thing night after night like the Broadway stars do. KG: I just don’t know where the “fuck” went in. KG: And I’ve always came from dong theater and this is just like a completely different beast and I never knew I would like it as much as I do. When you get to this, you just gotta learn it- you can’t overdo it. I think I’m more relaxed now, because what Kelli said, coming from movies, you got ninety minutes to put it out there so you’re doing some super acting. So I had already been in it, but I just thought to get better and better and better and better. I mean you have to remember, by the time I’ve done Law & Order, I’ve done fifty movies. Ice-T: I was still fucking incredible then. And when you’re doing a show that’s really a 23 hour movie, you can’t just be on it at all times.ĭo you ever look back at your earlier episodes? Ice-T: So until then, you just have to lay back and be a cop until that moment happens. I totally believe in conserving your energy because I’ve always said “Kelli, let’s conserve your energy because in a minute, or any moment, they’re going to write a scene that’s going to make you act your fucking ass off.” It’s not like every show I have to create another character.
So I can just apply to different scripts this character who Fin is and everybody knows where he stands. Ice-T: Yeah, Chicago Med and also it comes easier because every day, I’m going to be me. and Chicago Fire or “Chicago MD” or whatever it’s called. This is something we can rely on being there, it’s a good thing. Like if it’s not a hit right off the bat, then you’re sunk and you’re done and then it’s over next thing.

And not many people have that opportunity especially in a climate of TV now. It’s like “Oh God, I had a bad day and that take-“We get to redeem ourselves or work on ourselves every single day coming to work. Because I’ve flown a lot-some of the shows I’ve done were in Dallas and Atlanta respectively and while I loved doing that in my twenties, it’s nice to have one character-it’s not like a film where if you mess up, it’s their perpetuity. When you’re not working, you’re in New York. Ice-T: But still, New York, New Jersey, you can’t beat this. The show was filmed in New Jersey though. Ice-T: This show could be in bum-fuck Egypt too and you’d be forced to live there. We get to live in New York and do a show that doesn’t suck. KG: Well I was going to say just being an actor, it’s not like we have to live or work and move our whole lives to Dallas or Atlanta or Vancouver. Just having over twenty years of almost consistently acting. Like being able to act every day? It can’t do anything but help so I think of being on SVU is like me going to the Harvard of acting.
As far as doing the job, how has it molded me? I think it’s made me a better actor. It’s a great thing you know? I don’t know when I was really young I might have liked it, it might have been too stagnant for me, but at this time in my life, I don’t mind being able to go home every night to the same place and have a home. You know, for a long time, being a musician and having to travel all over the world, it’s being able to act in one place. Ice-T: How does it mold me as a person? It’s the most, how would I say? Consistent job I’ve had? It’s the most normal, like have a place you live, go to work, part of that.
