Franco Nero will be guest starring in the season premiere of Law & Order: Svu according to TV Guide. He will play an Italian dignitary who is accused of rape in a case similar to the Dominique Strauss-Kahn scandal. This will likely serve as the first case for the new detectives being introduced this season played by Danny Pino and Kelli Giddish. The two new cast members are being brought in as replacements for Chris Meloni and B.D. Wong who have both left the series.
Strauss-Kahn was a front-runner for the French presidential election when he was accused of sexually assaulting a maid in Manhattan (no, not the Jennifer Lopez movie). Sk pleaded not guilty and his entire career was basically ruined. Life sucked for Sk. But then there was the big twist that his accuser may have lied about the attack because Sk had lots of money she could get her hands on.

Both Law & Order: Svu and NCIS have cast some minor roles in their respective new seasons. According to Kabookit, Bryan Friday will be playing “Navy Captain Wright” in what appears to be the third episode of Season 9, titled “Nature of the Beast.” Friday has had plenty of minor roles in shows like CSI, Days of Our Lives and even a couple older NCIS episodes. On top of regular acting, Friday also does stunts. He actually does more stunt work than acting. I bet he’s got some pretty awesome scars. And if he does, that means he’s probably picking up more ladies than he can handle. Lucky guy. He’s living the dream while we just sit here and watch.
Less excitingly, Alana Jackler was cast in Svu as… Park Mom. Her episode appears to be called “Yin & Yang.” Jackler isn’t known for much, just some short films.
