Mariska Hargitay the director
Hargitay plays Captain Olivia Benson on Law & Order: SVU. But she isn’t just an actress on the hit series. She’s been in the director’s seat numerous times and she even recently directed episode 11 of the current record-breaking season.
On the podcast about SVU called Squadroom, Hargitay spoke about the challenges of directing and how important it is to prepare.
“This is, for me, the most challenging part of me directing,” Hargitay explained. “What I’ve learned now, one of the most important parts of directing is prep. It’s when so much of the work is done. And my prep, just to be candid here, is always compromised because I’m shooting the previous episode and they don’t want to lose me for too much. It’s been challenging that way because I’ve missed time.”
Hargitay is back in the director’s chair
Hargitay recently posted an image to Instagram that has fans talking. The upload shows Hargitay sitting in a director’s chair that says “Law & Order Special Victims Unit.” She captioned the post with a number of hashtags: “#CaptainsChair, #DirectorsChair, #LightsCameraAction, #LightsCameraBenson, #AnActorPrepares, #BackAtIt, #BensonInTheHouse, #AllTheWorldsAStage, #LocationLocationLocation.”
