Law & Order SVU's New Cast Members

Obviously, Christopher Meloni left some very big shoes to fill when he exited Law & Order: SVU. Shoes so big that they chose two actors to replace him. Danny Pino of Cold Case fame and Kelli Giddish who starred in last season's Chase on NBC.

I guess the duo aren't actually replacing him because from what I can tell, the two will be partners. Giddish will play Det. Amanda Rollins, a former Atlanta detective with a degree in forensic psychology. Meanwhile, Pino will play Nick Amaro, a Jersey boy with a talent for interrogation.

The show debuts on my birthday, ... September 21 at 10:00 PM (NBC)
