Hilary Duff Gets Gruff On ‘Law & Order: SVU’
Nice accent, Hil
Last week we got our first look at Hilary Duff‘s upcoming guest appearance on the NBC crime drama Law & Order: SVU and today we get to see her in action. NBC has released a short preview clip from next week’s ep titled Selfish wherein we get to see and hear Hilary act like a “young and irresponsible” mother:
This role is a far cry from her days as Lizzie Maguire but, as the clip clearly shows, she’s grown into a mature young woman. I’m most impressed by her tough as nails accent … but don’t take my word for it — after the jump, check out the clip in full for yourselves …
Hahahaha … I just love Hilary Duff. I’m glad that she’s taking on these more adult roles, too. I understand that she’s working on a new TV series for air in the Fall where she plays a young lawyer — it’s called Barely Legal. It looks like we’ll be getting a whole lot more Duff on the small screen in the coming months … I, for one, think it’s long overdue.

@Katie, I think the mom is being played by Gail O’Grady, who used to be on NYPD Blue and American Dreams. I love her in everything she does…
whenever i see hilary duff, all i see is veneers
I didn’t hate it. I thought she did okay:)
I really don’t mind Hilary Duff…from interviews she’s done and such she seems like a really down-to-earth girl. But her acting just…blows. I think it might be because she looks SO much like a 12-year-old that she just can’t pull off these kind of roles. I saw her in Ghost Whisperer last week too…and she was pretty terrible in that. This clip was a step up from Ghost Whisperer, at least.
Watched the episode. I was actually curious to see how her acting would be. God lord do I regret it. Her acting was HORRID! Ruined the episode.
To whoever said that the actress playing the mother was good, I concur!
