30 May
Summary
- Kelli Giddish had pink hair on her first SVU filming day.
- Her initial interaction with Ice-T set a tone of mutual respect.
- Giddish returned to SVU as a series regular after a brief departure.
Kelli Giddish, known for her role as Sgt. Amanda Rollins on Law & Order: SVU, recounted the whirlwind of her initial days on the long-running procedural. Giddish arrived in New York to film her first SVU scene directly after completing a movie in Los Angeles, which left her with pink hair still in it.
Her first interaction with co-star Ice-T was memorable, as she apologized for her appearance, only for him to respond with an encouraging, "You do you, boo." This moment, Giddish explained, cemented their relationship built on mutual respect. Following her debut, Giddish also attended a fitting for her role on The Good Wife.
Giddish has been a part of the SVU cast since 2011 and recently returned as a series regular in the most recent season after a brief departure in December 2022. She cited the "Career Psychopath" episode as her favorite from the latest installment, enjoying the action sequences and working alongside Peter Scanavino.
