Before playing police psychiatrist Dr. Emil Skoda on Law & Order - I due volti della giustizia (1990), he played a fanatical nut-case suspect on a crossover episode of Law & Order - I due volti della giustizia (1990) and Homicide, Life on the Street (1993). He is among the few recurring members to have a guest spot as one character on a "Law & Order" series before going on to play a different character in the L&O universe (others include S. Epatha Merkerson and Jerry Orbach). Ice-T played a criminal who met a "striking" fate in Omicidio a Manhattan (1998) before going on to star as Detective Odafin "Fin" Tutuola in Law & Order: Unità Speciale (1999).
