Last we were talking about Chloe Sevigny it was to do with her role in the much talked about film, Lovelace. Today I’ve heard that she is going to be returning to the smaller screen with a guest role on NBC’s Law & Order: Special Victims Unit. Shooting is meant to start next week for the episode and apparently Chloe is going to be playing a stay-at-home mom who is attacked and kidnapped. What do you think of this casting?
Chloe has been on that A-list for a while now but she is definitely on the rise. She really earned her place there in her role on HBO’s Big Love, and her Oscar-nominated role opposite Hilary Swank in the phenomenal film, Boys Don’t Cry. She has also been in American Psycho, Shattered Glass, and Zodiac and now the upcoming biopic of porn star Linda Lovelace with a horde of A-list stars including Amanda Seyfried,James Franco and Sarah-Jessica Parker (who replaced Demi Moore at the last minute.)
Despite being an outstanding actress, I have to be honest I don’t quite understand her decision to cameo in Law & Order. I suppose it will be fun to tune in and watch the episode with the same normal characters running around the city solving crimes, and then Chloe Sevingy will happen to be there, but I don’t quite see her as a Law & Order character, the screaming wife being kidnapped.. hmm…
Do you think this is good casting on SVU’s part?
What do you think of A-list big screen actors guest appearing on a TV series?
Even if Chloe is one of my favorite person in Hollywood, i don’t believe she’s a A-list. She is a little too much atypic for that, and if you look her on imdb, you’ll see that she doesn’t have a lot of movies line up and she is generally a supporting actress, which is not a-list.
Who cares whether she’s A-list or not? Either way, she’s an amazingly talented actress.
Where did the Umlaut go?
I don’t think she’s A-list either.
I adore Chloe and Law and Order is one of my favourite shows, so I can’t wait to see it.
SVU has had it’s handful of cameo’s throughout the years. I think she’ll make a great addition to the list. If Kathy Griffin can do it, so can Chloe.
Maybe she’s trying to show her acting talent and show what different kinds of characters she can play? Or maybe the role is more complex than it seems.
