Law and Order: SVU Best Celebrity Guest Stars

May 2024 · 1 minute read

For Law and Order: SVU’s landmark 200 episode, which aired 15 years ago in 2008, putting the series’ longevity into perspective, Robin Williams guest-starred as the anti-authority Merritt Rook. Amazingly, the episode is based on a true story, in part at least, as it takes a wild turn that pushes Benson and Stabler to their limits. Williams, known for his comedy, was always an incriedble villian, and in his performance as Rook, he demonstrates why for everyone that didn’t see him in One-Hour Photo or Insomnia.

Merritt Rook is one of Robin Williams’ creepiest roles, and though it gets crazy towards the end, it doesn’t undercut that he may be the most dangerous, devious, and effective villain in the history of Law and Order: SVU.
