Luda’s All over TV
It looks like Luda is continuing to hone the acting chops. After already appearing on The Simpsons earlier this week, Ludacris will reprise his role on Law & Order: Special Victims Unit this week.
The guest appearance, an intensely dramatic follow-up to a 2006 episode called “Venom,” which introduced Bridges as Darius Parker, the stepson of Detective Odafin “Fin” Tutuola (Ice-T). That episode climaxed with Darius’ arrest for the brutal murder of a woman and a baby, a crime Darius said was prompted by long-simmering rage over being abandoned by his mother (guest star Lisa Gay Hamilton) when he was an infant. Just before the final credits rolled, Darius swore that if he had to face trial for the murders, he would bring down the rest of his family with him.
Law & Order: Special Victims Unit season finale airs tonight at 10 p.m. on NBC.
