 However, he also notes that the rewarding part of doing S.V.U., according to Chris, is the tremendous positive impact on people who have been affected by such criminal acts. “I’ve had a lot of people affected by sexual or child abuse and our show’s done a lot of healing for a lot of people,” he notes, “And I got to tell you, that’s a light that I never thought would be shining in my life. Because I’m an actor and I ain’t no hero and I still am not, but my character has become a symbol or a touchstone or an anchor.” “I had a person who interviewed me who called me back and told me, ‘I couldn’t tell you that time, but I was a victim of abuse.

Edgy comedy, that’s kind of where my sensibilities lie. I love drama. I just want those sons of bitches to let me in the door (laughing). I’m here, people, and I’m here to tell you!” However, if you ask Chris is he is happy with where his career has ended up, you find out, as we did, that you got another thing coming. “Have you seen the fucking movies I’ve been in?” he jokingly snaps back, “Why do you think I don’t want to be recognized? Put two and two together for Christ sakes! Yeah, I mean that’s part of the plan. I like that.” “I just did a movie for Nickelodeon and I didn’t freak out my look, but I wanted a guy that’s a little different,” Meloni continues, “And I directed and starred in the movie National Lampoon’s Dirty Movie, which I also play a very charactery [sic] ... |
