 CONNIE NIELSEN
Detective Dani Beck


Connie Nielsen joins the eighth season of "Law & Order: SVU" as Detective "Dani Beck" ("Gladiator," "The Ice Harvest") spelling Golden Globe winner Mariska Hargitay as the actress goes on maternity leave. The six-episode run marks Nielsen's first primetime appearance on American television in her extensive film career. The episodes will begin airing this fall.

Nielsen will play Dani Beck, a multi-lingual warrants detective who comes from a specialized unit and is on a specific assignment to replace Detective Olivia Benson (Hargitay), who will be relocated "away from the building."

Nielsen first gained international notice when she starred opposite Russell Crowe in the Oscar-winning Best Picture "Gladiator." The Danish actress most recently starred in the soon to be released film "The Situation" directed by Philip Haas; the acclaimed feature film "Brothers," where she was awarded the Best Actress prize at the San Sebastian Film Festival and won the Danish Oscar for Best Actress. Newsweek's Best of the Year feature (12/19/05) hailed her "Brothers" performance as "one of the most emotionally eloquent performances of the year... it shows how Hollywood has just scratched the surface of her talent." Nielsen also starred in "The Ice Harvest."
