  "account": "Ice-T, known for his role as Odafin Tutuola in Law & Order: Special Victims Unit since 2000, made his debut in the L&O franchise with a different character in the 1998 movie Exiled: A Law & Order Movie. The film continues the storyline of Detective Mike Logan, portrayed by Chris Noth, three years after his departure from the series. Logan is assigned to administrative duties on Staten Island and attempts to return to homicide detective work, hoping to bring justice to a sex worker's murder. In Exiled, Ice-T played Seymour Kingston Stockton, a pimp who becomes the prime suspect in Logan's murder investigation. Despite Stockton's innocence, he is killed in a hit to conceal the true culprit. The role may have ended tragically for Stockton, but Ice-T's impact on Law & Order: SVU has been significant since the character's debut.",
  "summary": "Ice-T has played Fin in well over 500 episodes of Law & Order: SVU, but one appearance earlier in the franchise had him play an entirely different character.",
