LAW & ORDER: SUV

This hard-hitting and emotional series from NBC’s "Law & Order" brand chronicles the life and crimes of the Special Victims Unit of the New York Police Department, the elite squad of detectives who investigate sexually based crimes. The program has received numerous citations from community-based organizations for the social issues it tackles, and the cast members are frequently recognized for the work they do off-screen to promote personal health and safety and other volunteer efforts and initiatives.

The drama follows Detective Elliot Stabler (Christopher Meloni), a seasoned veteran of the unit who has seen it all, and his partner, Detective Olivia Benson (Mariska Hargitay), whose difficult past - a child of rape - is the reason she joined the unit. This fall, Stabler found himself newly partnered with Detective Dani Beck, a warrants officer, played by film star Connie Nielsen ("Gladiator"), who filled in for Hargitay for a six-episode arc while the actress was on maternity leave. This season includes guest-starring appearances by many venerable actors including: Brian Dennehy, Marcia Gay Harden, legendary film star Leslie Caron and comedian Jerry Lewis.

In 2006, Hargitay (Detective Benson) garnered her first Emmy Award for Lead Actress in a Drama Series, and was the 2005 Golden Globe Winner for Lead Actress in a Drama Series, as well as a 2004, 2005, 2007 and 2008 Emmy Nominee, a 2009 Golden Globe Nominee and a 2004, 2006, 2008, and 2009 Screen Actors Guild Nominee for Lead Actress.
