Ex-SVU Star Eyes Return, Loves FBI Role
10 Feb
Summary
- Actress expresses openness to returning to Law & Order: SVU.
- She enjoys playing Eva Ramos on CBS's FBI series.
- Martinez finds new role more physically dynamic.
Meritan Martinez, who portrayed Junior Detective Kate Silva, has expressed openness to returning to Law & Order: SVU. While not ruling out a comeback, Martinez is currently focused on her role as Eva Ramos in CBS's FBI series, a transition she finds exhilarating.
Martinez joined SVU in its 26th season and has since departed, alongside co-star Octavio Pisano. She finds her new role on FBI, which is in its eighth year, to be a refreshing change, allowing her to engage in more physically demanding stunts, a desire she calls a childhood dream.
The actress highlighted the unique characteristics of Eva Ramos, noting the character's prosecutorial background and her confident, intelligent, and feminine nature, which differs from her SVU persona. This contrast has allowed Martinez to explore different facets of professional women on screen.
Despite her current satisfaction with FBI, Martinez acknowledged the possibility of crossovers within producer Dick Wolf's interconnected television universe. However, she playfully suggested that her own involvement might be limited due to the complexity of managing two characters simultaneously.
