One star from Law & Order: Special Victims Unit has addressed their decreased screen time in the latest season of the beloved procedural series. Law & Order: SVU Season 27 is in full swing, and fans have noticed that there isn’t nearly as much Fin (Ice-T) in some of the newer episodes. Ice-T recently caught up with TMZ, who asked the star about his lower usage this season. “It’s just basic business,” he said. “They brought Kelli [Giddish] back and they couldn’t keep both of us, as far as budget wise.” Ice-T is referencing Kelli Giddish’s return as Amanda Rollins. She first exited the show in 2022, though has regularly appeared as a guest star. Release Date September 20, 1999 Network NBC Showrunner Michael S.
