Ice-T has been playing ‘the cop we need’ on ‘SVU’ for over 20 years
We’re living in the “renICEance.” The king of “Law & Order:
SVU” teases the show’s upcoming Fin-focused episode: “It’s going to be a nice ride with me.”
Ice Cold Fact: There will never be another one who can
claim the title of longest-running male actor on TV, a Grammy Award and a Walk of Fame star to his name.
Ice-T, who nabbed the longest-running achievement in 2022 for playing Odafin “Fin” Tutuola on “Law & Order: SVU” since 2000, will soon make his legacy even more permanent with a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame during a ceremony on Feb. 17.
In a recent interview with TODAY.com, the legendary rapper and actor talks about his latest honor, family, favorite “SVU” line and much more.
“Honestly, and please don’t take this wrong, I wasn’t as excited about it as other people were,” Ice-T humbly explains about his upcoming Walk of Fame honor. “I grew up in LA, and I knew the stars, and we used to walk up and down the street and see the stars. I never imagined I could get a star, but when they told me I was going to get one, I was like, ‘OK, that’s cool.’”
It wasn’t until people pointed out what the achievement would mean to Ice-T’s family members that he began to really absorb the accomplishment. Ice-T has been married to wife Coco Austin for over 20 years, and they share 7-year-old daughter Chanel. He also has two older children from previous relationships: LeTesha Marrow and Ice Tracy Marrow Jr. (“Lil Ice”).
