Peter Scanavino's Pre-Carisi SVU Role - Law & Order: SVU

Law & Order

[impracticalnuke]

Would've been funny as hell if during his first appearance as Carisi, the team ask him if they've seen him before.

Amanda: Hey, have I seen you before?
Carisi: Nah, I don't think so.
Fin: You look familiar, kid.
Carisi: I got that face.

[ItsGooseIsland]

This man guest starred on the original, SVU, and Criminal Intent before becoming Carisi

[sutanmakmur]

So both Carisi and Rollins had a Pre-Role, i never notice that tbh :)

[chasrafael]

this hair is such a look on Peter omfg

[sizillinbacon]

They liked him enough they put him on the show 😂

[logannguyen]

Wow, I totally forgot about this. At the time, Peter probably didn't know he'd be working with Kelli and Ice-T full time again in the future.

[Room]

Fantastic performance. What a versatile actor. Love him.

[LT-mlrp]

The ending of this episode was so good; the look in his eyes when he saw what’s-his-name walk past... 👀

[kaylasmith]

Am I crazy or is his voice different here than his Carisi character? I mean listen to the way he uses his ‘R’s.

[kimanireid]

Kelli Giddish herself also guest starred on SVU before taking up the role of Amanda Rollins

[YolandaAnneBrown]

Also check out Peter Scanavino's performance in the Law and Order: Criminal Intent episode, "Diamond Dogs."

That's what can happen if a TV franchise has been going 20+ years

[kirstyw.]

[lynn]

I love his long hair on him he so cute with it

[francescacastiglione]

Many had previous roles before. Not only Carisi and Rollins but also ADA Isiah Holmes (Wentworth Miller) who previously appeared as a detective, Nate Campbell.

[francescorengifo]

bring back the character as a long lost twin brother!

[MsTinkerbelle]

Omg I knew I recognized him and I knew there must have been a reason why I didn’t like him at first 😂
