Originally, Ice-T Was Only Hired for Four Episodes
Even though Ice-T was once known for his LA metal band Body Count’s song “Cop Killer” about police brutality, he went on to star as a member of the force on Law & Order: SVU. When Dean Winters left the show during the show’s early run, Ice-T was brought onboard for four episodes as Detective Odafin “Fin” Tutuola. It turned out that Ice-T meshed with the ensemble so well that he immediately moved to New York and has been on the show ever since.
