Yes, I am [SIZE=ā€œ7ā€]Fin Tutuola[/SIZE] from _Law & Order SVU_, played by Ice-T. The show debuted in 1999. Fin was added to the cast in season 2 and has stayed ever since. I had trouble deciding how to answer the ā€œDid the show win an Emmyā€ question. The show itself did not, but several guest stars did, as well as Mariska Hargitay. I determined that those stars wouldnā€™t have won Emmys if it hadnā€™t been for the show, so thatā€™s why I answered that it won for other categories. Congrats, **SCAdian**! I would have gotten away with it if it werenā€™t for your meddling. šŸ™‚ The letter G is yours. ---
