Mariska Hargitay was mistaken as a real police officer by a child while filming Law & Order: SVU season 25. For more than two decades, Hargitay has played Manhattan SVU's Olivia Benson. Through the years, she has risen through the ranks and is currently the captain of the squad she has been part of for so long. Despite being a spinoff, Law & Order: SVU has arguably become the poster series of the New York City-pocket of Dick Wolf's TV franchise, and with that comes the spotlight on Hargitay, who has also expanded her role in the show beyond just playing Benson.
