Bill Goldberg to Appear on Law and Order: SVU

Posted: Jan 23rd 2007 By: CMBurnham

Former WWE Superstar and World Heavyweight Champion Bill Goldberg makes his prime time television debut, guest starring on NBC's "Law & Order: Special Victims Unit" Tuesday, February 6 at 10 PM ET/PT. Goldberg guest stars as (Cupid) a crazed convict. In this episode titled "Loophole," an anonymous envelope appears at the precinct and the detectives use it to pick up the trail of a pornographer.

Goldberg has a family connection to the show - his first cousin is SVU executive producer and head writer Neal Baer, M.D., who says "I've waited years to work with my cousin Bill, and the cast and I were not disappointed. Now I know who to go to when I need an enforcer."

In this episode, Goldberg (Cupid) tosses Detective Elliot Stabler (Chris Meloni) through a window. Goldberg is one of the biggest names the wrestling business has ever seen, and has transitioned from being a superstar in the ring to a television and feature film star. After a brief football career, he changed his focus to develop what became a long and celebrated career in professional wrestling. Goldberg has since held staring roles in a number of feature films including "The Longest Yard," "Santa's Slay," "Looney Tunes: Back In Action," "Ready to Rumble," and "Universal Soldier II."

Mariska Hargitay, Chris Meloni, Dann Florek, Richard Belzer, B.D. Wong, Diane Neal and Tamara Tunie star in "Law & Order: SVU."

"Law & Order: Special Victims Unit" is a Wolf Films production in association with Studios USA Television. Dick Wolf is creator and executive producer, Neal Baer and Ted Kotcheff are executive producers; Peter Jankowski, Arthur Forney, and Judith McCreary are co-executive producers
