Mariska Hargitay, Cordially Welcomes Law & Order Newcomer Mehcad Brooks

Mariska Hargitay tends to establish strong, rapid connections with her co-stars. Recently added to Law & Order, Mehcad Brooks has access to her enormous heart. 

Hargitay has collaborated with several actors on the Law & Order series over the years. But Hargitay was particularly surprised by this newcomer, with whom she immediately connected.

2011 saw Brooks make a cameo appearance as basketball player Prince Miller in the season 13 episode “Personal Fouls.” Brooks and Hargitay clicked right away even back then. The frequently giving celebrity even took Brooks by surprise by lending a helping hand to his brother.

Brooks was particularly motivated by seeing Mariska Hargitay portray the legendary Olivia Benson. Hargitay is no stranger to getting the most performance out of her co-stars. Not only as a performer but also as a director, Hargitay was drawn to directing in part because she enjoyed seeing performers reach their full potential.

It’s no secret that Hargitay bonds quickly and strongly with her co-stars, from Kelli Giddish to Chris Meloni. Brooks, a devoted viewer of the program for a long time, was thrilled to play investigator Jalen Shaw in the new season.

The fact that Brooks could emotionally connect with the character was another factor that drew him to the part. When the actor first met Hargitay on the Law & Order set, they also clicked right away. Hargitay found Brooks’ personality to be just as impressive as his physical attributes.
