Ludacris Gets Caught Up In Cop Drama
Wednesday - February 8, 2006 by James Bartlett
After conquering the big screen with films like Crash and Hustle and Flow, Ludacris will try his hand at the small screen this March on "Law & Order: SVU."
The Atlanta MC will play Darius, a family member of Detective Odafin "Fin" Tutuola (Ice-T), in a guest appearance on NBC's hit drama "Law & Order: Special Victims Unit."
"I have been a fan of "thingy" Wolf's 'Law & Order' for a long time," said Luda via a statement. "When I was approached to work on 'SVU' and read the script there was no way that I could turn down this amazing opportunity. The character was so rich and the storyline so complex that I knew it was something I had to do."
The storyline puts Detective Fin in a difficult position, in which his colleagues suspect his son Ken (Ernest Wadell) of a double homicide. Fin also finds himself in a showdown with his ex-wife/ Ken's mother, Terry Randell (Lisa Gay Hamilton). The story abruptly turns when Fin discovers a family secret regarding his family's relationship with Darius.
In the role of Darius, Ludacris takes on yet another challenging character and shows his dedication and enthusiasm for the art of acting. Unlike most rappers turned actors, Ludacris made the leap to serious roles very quickly, winning a Critics Choice Award and a SAG Award for Best Ensemble for Crash and receiving a nomination for his first NAACP Image acting award for Best Supporting Actor for Crash.
Crash and Hustle & Flow are only Luda's second and third films. His first was 2 Fast 2 Furious.
Ludacris' episode of "Law & Order: SVU" will air Tuesday, March 28 at 10pm

Chris (Ludacris) Bridges is the latest familiar face set to pass through "Law & Order: Special Victims Unit."
The hip-hop artist will appear in an upcoming episode of Dick Wolf's popular NBC series playing Detective Fin's (Ice-T) nephew.
"I have been a fan of Dick Wolf's 'Law & Order' for a long time," said Bridges in a statement. "When I was approached to work on 'SVU' and read the script, there was no way that I could turn down this amazing opportunity. The character was so rich and the story line so complex that I knew it was something I had to do."
He joins a long list of guest stars, including Martin Short, Mark McGrath, Mary Steenburgen, Marcia Gay Harden, Teri Garr, Judith Light and Rebecca De Mornay, to be tapped for the top-rated installment in the "Law & Order" canon.
Susan Saint James, wife of NBC Sports president Dick Ebersol, has a small role in an upcoming episode. And Connie Nielsen ("Gladiator") will fill in for a pregnant Mariska Hargitay for six episodes this spring.
The "SVU" gig is the latest in a string of acting jobs for Bridges, who turned in buzzed about performances in "2 Fast, 2 Furious," "Hustle & Flow" and most recently the Oscar-nominated "Crash." He's also up for a Grammy tonight for best rap single.
In the episode, Detective Fin's son Ken (Ernest Wadell) is suspected in a double homicide, putting Fin in a difficult position with his colleagues not to mention his ex-wife (Lisa Gay Hamilton).
Things only get worse when Fin discovers a dark family secret involving his nephew. The episode, which films next week in New York, is scheduled to air March 28.
