A big part of why hes so lovable is due to the expert performance ofKevin Kane.

These are their stories.

KEVIN KANE: It felt amazing and really unexpected.

And I was like “yes” immediately.

In the criminal justice system, sexually-based offenses are considered especially heinous. In New York City, the dedicated detectives who investigate these vicious felonies are members of an elite squad known as the Special Victims Unit. These are their stories.

I was very surprised.

There’s something really special about it.

We’re going to see another episode Mariska directed this season.

Did I say everything right?

Will Bruno Be Back for SVU Season 26?

It’s a toss of the coin.

A quick injection of cash goes either way.

I certainly hope we get to see him that long.

I’m curious if there have been any conversations about maybe becoming a serious regular in Season 26.

We’ve been making 13 episodes in a short amount of time shorter than we normally do.

I’m just happy they keep asking me back.

Do you have a favorite line that Bruno has said?

Hes so witty and quick with it.

You know who the best person to ask would be?

Because he files them he has a list.

Law and Order: SVU

Maybe we should change this a little bit.

There was one last season that was a play on the word flabbergasted.

I know exactly what you’re talking about.

Whereas, if you put a gun to my head now, I couldnt remember what the line was.

[Laughs]

You mentioned working with Octavio.

The good cop, bad cop interrogation scene this season has been one of my absolute favorites.

What was it like filming that?

Because that was so much fun to watch as a viewer.

They brought the light in an otherwise dark series.

The dynamics between Bruno and everyone else are so fun.

Im like, This is the only woman who believed in me.

That’s why I’m here.

And now I’m questioning her?

But I think there are little subtle things they were putting in there.

Kevin Kane Has Nothing but Love for ‘SVU’ Fans

The fans are extremely passionate.

I feelSVUfans are a breed of their own.

I’m curious if you’ve had any particularly meaningful or particularly wild fan interactions since you started.

No, they’ve all been great.

I always like it.

You do come from a very comedy-heavy background.

I kind of fell into comedy by accident.

I trained as an actor with Amy Schumer and these other actors.

We started a theater company, and we were doing all of these really serious plays.

I just don’t know if I could do that.

It’s always nice when there is comedic relief, even in the episodes.

I think it makes it a more enjoyable watch and helps it even hit harder.

Its funny I get a little gun-shy.

Even today, with this episode we’re working on now, it’s so dark and so heavy.

But I was like, Oh, I could see where the joke would be.

You kind of pick and choose your moment.

People love to ship.

That’s a really hard question.

People shipeverybody, you know?

I’m here for that.

I would love more Bruno and Carisi.

I need that in my life.This show is known for having very high-profile guest stars.

Gotta get one of those very memorable lines in that moment.

I love the nickname Moneybags I think that’s such a fun one.

My last question is, what do you think your squad nickname would be?

Thats incredible behind-the-scenes content right here.

She says, Listen, Moneybags I need a check for something for our kids school.

So I think Moneybags started to spill over.

Youve fused into one.

[Laughs] But it means two different things.

In my world, it just means Im in service of others.
