It’s no secret that Law & Order: SVU loves guest stars with Oscar cred. In fact, when the show celebrated its 200th episode in 2008, we chatted with exec producers about 24 guests who’d either won an Academy Award or been nominated for one. So it’s not surprising that Sharon Stone (a nominee for Casino) has signed on for a four-episode arc as a former cop-turned prosecutor. But is it as crazy as it initially sounds?
Considering my first thought when I saw Stone onstage last month paying tribute to Robert De Niro at the Kennedy Center Honors was Oh, they needed another woman, you’d think I’d say yes. Haven’t all of Stone’s recent memorable performances been in that annual Cinema Against AIDS charity auction at the Cannes Film Festival? But SVU likes to give actors a chance to play roles they’re not normally offered; and, occasionally, actors do like to do something well-written that millions of people are actually going to see. Maybe with decent dialogue, we could be reminded how fierce Stone can be. She has the presence to be a formidable opponent to Mariska Hargitay and Chris Meloni, should that be what the role entails (fingers crossed). You can’t imagine her playing someone who wouldn’t win, which would keep things interesting.
Is Sharon Stone a “get” that you’ll tune in for?

I think this could be a very intersting story line~
Remeber keep condoms so the kids can find them
YESSSSSS!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Definitely!
I rarely tune in to SVU, but I’ll be setting the DVR for this.
i heard sharon is friends with mariska. they will be great to see on screen together. i think sharon will be great!
I’ve watched the original L&O, L&O-SVU and L&O-CI. SVU is the best of the three. Everybody thinks this is a stunt. No way. I think the stars that guest on L&O and SVU recognize a good oppertunity when they see it!
I could definitely see Stone headlining a show on Showtime, HBO, FX or a cable network.
I mean, TV is where her contemporaries like Glenn Close, Holly Hunter and others have gone once the movie roles have dried up.
I refuse to watch any show or any products that Sharon Stone promotes or acts in, as I fear bad karma if I do so.
That’s my one person’s tiny contribution to Sharon Stone’s KARMA, and hope the 70,000 Chinese killed in Sichuan’s earthquake can rest a little more in peace that there is still one person trying to defend for them from Sharon Stone’s badmouthing.
I am looking for defects..but I don’t find…
…and what comes stronger after this.?.?.
