You know, Law & Order has a reputation for casting actors who go on to become quite famous. However, it’s not as common for an actor to go on Law & Order after they have their big break. But that's what happened this week, though, as Melissa McCarthy surprised Mariska Hargitay with a cameo in an episode that aired on the 2026 TV schedule. Let me tell you, the BTS video of it happening is absolutely priceless, too.
