Chris Meloni: He’s The Bomb.com

Chris Meloni had no time to spare as his Law & Order: Organized Crime character Elliot Stabler rushed to free guest star Olivia Thirlby from a knotty situation. (The drama’s season 5 has made the move to Peacock.) Chris has said how much he loves shooting the show on the streets of the city. “Filming here turns it into a small town, everyone knows you,” according to the 63-year-old. “Literally, it’s like, ‘Hey.’ ‘Hey!’ It’s not an ego thing… it’s like, ‘Oh, hey, I love the show.’ ‘Great!’ You go into a local hardware store, ‘Hi, Bob. Hi, Jim’!”
