Christopher Meloni - interview by Chet Cooper and Dr. Gillian FriedmanWhile some actors suggest any work is a blessing, many struggle to find roles that allow them to demonstrate a diverse range of talents. The objective, of course, is to avoid being typecast. Sean Connery, despite his extensive filmography, will always be James Bond. In fact, it was once said that if Sean Connery had been cast in Jurassic Park, people would wonder why James Bond was fighting dinosaurs. On the contrary, it is unlikely Woody Allen will ever wear the trademark tuxedo and answer to the secret code name 007. What then can be said about Christopher Meloni? While he is best recognized for his portrayal as the idealistic, straight-laced Detective Elliot Stabler on NBC’s Law & Order: SVU, to suggest Meloni is typecast as a cop is as accurate as saying Hillary Swank can only do boxing movies. Sure, they’re both great in their roles, but their respective characters are only single aspects of impressively larger repertoires. One peek into Meloni’s portfolio will find an actor with one of the broadest ranges in the industry. And not only can he do it all … he does it all really, really well.
