Mariska Hargitay Explains Why Kate Moss Turned Down A Law & Order: SVU Speaking Role
Law & Order: SVU star Mariska Hargitay explained that supermodel Kate Moss was interested in being on the show - but not in a speaking role.
Mariska Hargitay, a long-time star of the crime drama series Law & Order: SVU, recently revealed the bizarre reason why supermodel Kate Moss turned down a guest-starring role on the show. During an appearance on Jimmy Kimmel Live!, Hargitay explained that Moss was initially interested in joining the series but had a peculiar request: she only wanted to play a dead body and did not want any lines to speak.
Hargitay, taken aback by Moss's request, went to the show's producers and secured a part for Moss as a madam in the series. Hargitay mentioned that she frequently encounters requests from superstars to play corpses on the show, which is not uncommon in Hollywood. Over the show's 27-season run, numerous A-listers, including Whoopi Goldberg, Martin Short, and Snoop Dogg, have taken on roles as dead bodies on the series.
Notably, Questlove, the drummer of The Roots, fulfilled his dream of playing a dead body on Law & Order in the 2014 episode "Criminal Stories," where he portrayed a gunshot victim alongside Ice-T's Detective Fin Tutuola.
