Mariska Hargitay Recalls Law And Order: SVU Audition With Christopher Meloni And Discovering Their Chemistry: ‘It Was Sort Of A Once-In-A-Lifetime Experience’

Needless to say, it’s a treat whenever Mariska Hargitay and Christopher Meloni share scenes, and seeing them together ahead of the Law & Order finales last year made me seriously miss Benson and Stabler.

Within Law & Order: SVU’s 26-season history, one element that has remained a fan-favorite is the relationship between Olivia Benson and Chris Stabler.

The writers deserve a lot of credit for that, but a lot of it can also be chalked up to Mariska Hargitay and Christopher Meloni’s undeniable chemistry.
