"I then cast him as a lead in 'Players' and thought of him immediately when I was casting a new detective for season two of 'SVU.' Ice is the consummate professional. His work ethic is unimpeachable and he has grown exponentially as an actor. Casting Ice as Fin was one of my best moves as a producer."Ice T also starred in Wolf's telefilm "Exiled: A Law & Order Movie" and guest-starred as Fin in "Law & Order," "Chicago P.D." and "Law & Order: Organized Crime." In 2002, he won the NAACP Image Award for his role as "SVU's" Detective Tutuola.His first on-screen break came when the producers of the film "Breakin'" asked him to rap in the movie.
