If you loved Lost, you may remember Henry Ian Cusick, the actor who portrayed Desmond. We’ve just learned via nymag.com that the prime time Emmy Award nominated actor will be joining the cast of Law and Order: SVU for at least two episodes. “Cusick will be playing a graphic artist named Erik Weber who may engage in some ‘flirtation’ with Mariska Hargitay’s Detective Benson.” Cusick is of Scottish-Peruvian descent. He also guest starred on a pair of 24 episodes.
Law and Order is well known for star appearances. The Special Victims Unit has seen Robin Williams, Kathi Griffin, Mischa Barton, Carol Burnett and Sharon Stone and has been on for 12 exciting seasons. Other shows in the Law and Order family include Criminal Intent, which Vincent D’Onofrio recently left, and the brand new Los Angeles, which NBC calls “a foray into the glitz, glamour and guilt of Los Angeles. From the tony Beverly Hills to the seedy side of Hollywood, LAPD’s elite Robbery Homicide Division is on the case. Fusing classic ripped-from-the-headlines storytelling with the backdrop of LA, the series delves into the high-profile crimes of the West Coast.”
