Casting directors for the NBC show have a rush call out for an SVU / Chicago P.D. crossover episode that is filming this week in the Chicago area.
There are a few featured / specialty roles up for grabs.
SVU and the “Chicago” series of shows are created by Dick Wolf and currently air on the NBC network. “Chicago P.D.” focuses on district 21 of the Chicago Police Department. The series is a spin-off of the popular “Chicago Fire” series which tells the story of 2 fictional units, uniformed cops, who deal with street crimes, and an elite Intelligence Unit that handles major crimes in the city. The Intelligence unit is headed by Sgt. Hank Voight, a tough, no-nonsense veteran cop who has a history of bending the rules. NBC also has a new show filming in the Chicago, “Chicago Med.” The shows will be returning in early January 23016 with new episodes.
“Law and Order: SVU” is a long running police drama set in NYC. SVU focuses on detectives who handle Special Victims and investigate crimes perpetrated against the most vulnerable. The show’s cast includes Mariska Hargitay and Ice-T.
