Threaten Barba at Your Own Risk - Law & Order: SVU

Law & Order

[mckayleem]

I love how he just casually answers “not really someone just threatened to kill me...” Liv’s response 😂

[angelinasmith]

People seem to forget barba wasn't born to be a ADA he came from spanish harlem he's low key gangster

[Desiree]

My favorite part about this is the fact that when the caught the guy later Barba was personally offended by how low he was getting paid to threaten him 🤣

[mykalfox]

Barba had a good poker face. That exhale when dude walked off, Barba was scared but he still went like a G.

[aliciad]

Barba giving out his home address is low-key 'I choose violence' energy.

Barba is my fave ADA - I love Carisi but it's going to take some time to reach Barba levels.

[ninjaeris]

I love this moment, cause Barba basically said, "Don't Let This Suit Fool You."

[mikeyisbombable]

Cabot, Novak, and Barba are the true ADA’s of the show!!

[oliviapedersen]

I love the response “right here in front of all these people”

[sannalatif]

Is anyone else weirdly attracted to barba !!??

[kidkuleshov]

My favorite part of this scene is when barba takes that gasp and step after the guy walks off, like as much as he tried to stand up to the threat it still shook him and threw him off his balance

[thejaebyrd]

Barba said “cash me outside how bout dat”

[moaclown]

He wasn’t just an ADA
He was also a good friend to everyone

[Hannah-zmet]

Barba is like twice my age...and yet I think he's the sexiest one on the show fnjfnjkdnkjf

[MachallaNaNaNa]

I forget how ballsy Barba was sometimes. My personal favorite ADA

[ashleystewart]

I miss Barba so much, he was so badass and snarky but kind and respectful. I hope he comes back again, at least for another guest appearance.

[Baino_Luli]

“Right here in front of all these people?” I love Barba my favorite ADA

[NightridewithNikki]

Barba was legit like "Wanna kill me, heres my address" kinda badass honestly.

[McD]

Dammit Barbs, didnt you watch Iron Man 3?? You NEVER give the bad guys your home address - *NEVER* ..!!! 🤣

[brianholloway]

I spoke to Raul on the street while he was outside his place. He was absolutely amazing and I kept thinking I should ask him out. sigh.

[ab]

i wish they had expanded this story line and given more background and time to his character. Bring him back permanently already!
