Mariska Hargitay on ‘Law & Order: SVU’

Hargitay has become synonymous with her role as Benson of the Special Victims Unit. She’s played the part since the series first began in 1999. Her character has since grown from a detective to the Captain of the squad, working her way up the ranks and earning the respect of others. She gets justice for countless survivors over the years, and it’s something fans love to see. 

Hargitay, who turned 57 on January 23, met her husband, Peter Hermann, an actor, on the set of SVU in 2002. They were married in 2004, and they have three children together named August, Amaya, and Andrew, and reside in New York.

Hargitay’s character was recently reunited with her old partner, Elliot Stabler (Christopher Meloni), who now has his own spinoff called Law & Order: Organized Crime. They worked together for over a decade before Meloni left SVU over a contract dispute. Now reunited, fans have been treated to the two interacting together again, which has been great for viewers.
