Mariska Hargitay fully embodied her "Law & Order: Special Victims Unit" character by helping a young girl find her mother. Hargitay was dressed in her "SVU" detective gear for filming the show on April 10 in New York City, thus bearing a striking resemblance to a police officer. A young girl, unaware of the cast and crew around the location, approached Hargitay, mistaking her for a real-life police officer, seeking help locating her mother.
Hargitay quickly jumped into action, channeling her inner Olivia Benson, the detective she plays on the show. A witness told People magazine that Hargitay paused production for 20 minutes to help the child find her mother.
The interaction took place at Anne Loftus Playground in Fort Tryon Park. Eventually, the young girl, with the help of Hargitay, was reunited with her mother.
It seems as though Hargitay has learned a thing or two from playing a detective on the "Law & Order" spin-off since 1999. "SVU" is currently filming its 25th season.
The show is the longest-running, prime-time live-action series in the history of American television. "We’ve been on a parallel journey," Hargitay told People ahead of the premiere of the show's 25th season in January.
"There’s a thing: WWOBD, ‘What would Olivia Benson do?’ The fans would always talk about it, and one day it hit me. I also have those moments where I’ve sort of slipped into her. If there’s a crisis, I just take over and lead like that.
Being strong and fearless. It’s sort of this perfect feminist story." "What would Olivia Benson do?" has become quite a phenomenon among "SVU" fans, and the thought process was put into action by Hargitay in helping the lost child find her mother. Ashlyn Messier is a writer for Fox News Digital.

Netflix hit Baby Reindeer has revealed that he “feels sorry” for the stalker character in the show.The show has been created by comedian Richard Gadd, and is based on his 2019 one-man play of the same name. It depicts a version of the real-life story of his own stalking ordeal.The synopsis clarifies that the show focuses “on struggling comedian Donny Dunn’s (Gadd) strange and layered relationship with a woman named Martha (Jessica Gunning), whose initially friendly demeanour unravels as she begins to stalk Donny relentlessly”.“Their first interaction is innocent enough: While working his shift as a bartender, Donny shows an act of kindness to Martha, a customer whose vulnerability is readily apparent,” the synopsis adds.“But, as the saying goes, ‘no good deed goes unpunished,’ and this casual encounter sparks a suffocating obsession that threatens to wreck both their lives and forces Donny to face his deeply buried trauma.”In a new interview with Variety, Gadd said that he intended to make the Martha character somewhat sympathetic, based on his experiences.“Stalking usually is depicted as someone who is kind of evil, whereas I felt like there was a vulnerable person who genuinely couldn’t stop, who for whatever reason had believed the reality that was inside her head and no matter what couldn’t change from that,” he said.“I mean, it is a mental illness and I wanted to portray that.
