They all do.

Ocean’s Twelve: Julia Roberts guest starred while she was dating Benjamin Bratt

Blair Witch: Mike guest starred as the father of a missing baby who claimed that his divorced wife had custody so she must’ve killed it.

Dogma: Janeane Garofalo guest starred in the 3 part LA episode - she was the murdering director’s assistant.

Titanic: Kate Winslet’s mom (can’t remember her name) guest starred in the episode where the geneticist was murdered and they thought it was an animal rights group. But it was really her - she killed her husband for having an affair

Here’s an interesting one I just found out the other day :

What actual children’s show actor got killed off in the first five minutes of the original L&O show?

Five actors from _The Practice_ did one-or-more guest shots, with each playing a criminal or suspected criminal:

Michael Badalucco - played suspected killer  
Steve Harris - played extortionist, suspected arsonist  
Camryn Manheim - played suspect child abuser (and in another appearance played a lawyer, the only _Practice_ actor to do so)  
Jessica Capshaw - played junkie/petty criminal sent to halfway house  
Lisa Gay Hamilton - played murderer

Whoops, the petty criminal/junkie was Kelli Williams, not Jessica Capshaw.

I wish I could have answered one for the original series (and a hard one, at that), but you’re talking about Vincent D’Onofrio, aren’t you?

Actually, there’s at least one more _Oz_ & _L&O_ crossover actor, although he’s not a regular, per se: Mike Doyle. I don’t know his character’s name on _Oz_, but he plays a CSU/tech (O’Halloran?) on _SVU_. He’s a repeat character like the MEs but not a _main_ character.

This bit of trivia I know because I went to school with him (& took acting classes with him) when we were in 6th grade - 9th grade. I moved to Indiana after that.

I don’t know about the other one’s you listed, but the Dogma answer was not Janeane Garofalo… I don’t believe she was in the movie. However, I do remember seeing a L&O episode with Kevin Smith in it…

She was one of Linda Fiorentino’s co-workers at the abortion clinic.

I stand corrected! You are right, I had forgotten about that. However I still think Kevin Smith makes a better answer. 🙂

He showed him the cigar burns on his arm from the last time he was arrested. He didn’t confess then, so why wouldn’t he confess now unless Logan really did threaten to blow his brains out?

Not exactly a “regular” cast member, but Elliott’s wife on SVU was a criminal on the original L&O. She played a punk rock type girl who killed a cop, then converted to Christianity and didn’t contest her death sentence. Ah, [Isabel Gillies](http://imdb.com/name/nm0319178/) is her name.

It was “Unusual Suspects”  
The episode with Jesse L. Martin was “The Unnatural” and B.D. Wong was in “Hell Money”

Vincent D’Onofrio as the man who was crushed by the train.

What job did DA Adam Schiff take when he left the DA’s office?
