No, this isn't a roll he's playing, he was actually a quarterback! Chris lead his team through an undefeated season in 1978, and was inducted with his teammates into the school's hall of fame. *** [limegreen]'Law & Order's' Chris Meloni Goes Long, and Winds Up in 1978[/limegreen]By Amy Argetsinger and Roxanne Roberts Tuesday, May 1, 2007; Page C03 "I don't usually write my own lines," Christopher Meloni warned as he took the podium at his old high school. The star of the long-running "Law & Order: SVU" was quarterback of a football team that posted a "perfect season" at Alexandria's St. Stephen's School back in 1978; Saturday night he accepted the tribute as the entire team was inducted into the school's athletic Hall of Fame. The "Law & Order: SVU" star quarterbacked St. Stephen's School to an undefeated season in 1978. He and his teammates were inducted into the school's Hall of Fame. The D.C. native, 46, brought both his wife and his mom to the ceremony at the school, now called St. Stephen's & St. Agnes School. (FYI, one of us went to St. Agnes back in the day but, alas, never met Meloni.) The actor dropped his popular taciturn-tough-guy persona to reminisce about the sound of cleats going click-clack and to spin yarns about every one of that fall's winning games. He choked up a couple of times and had to stop, especially when talking about his late coach, Sleepy Thompson. "Usually I have five takes before it has to go live," he joked.
