Christopher Meloni was for a long time the face of "Law & Order: Special Victims Unit (SVU)," where he played detective Elliot Stabler. He starred alongside Mariska Hargitay, who played detective Olivia Benson.

In 2011, after "Law & Order: SVU" had run for 12 seasons, news broke out that Meloni would be leaving the veteran crime drama. Fans were disappointed that they wouldn't be seeing him on the show again.

According to sources, Meloni left the show because of negotiations that didn't result in a deal. The source added that Meloni and NBC couldn't agree on a new deal as the actor wanted a salary increase.

Hargitay said he was devastated when Meloni left after the contract negotiations fell apart. Meloni's leaving felt abrupt and left Hargitay sad since they built the show together. The actress pointed out that she and Meloni spent lots of time together and went through many milestones.

How Did Meloni Look?

Meloni used to have a beard when he was in "Law & Order: SVU." A picture of the actor in 2003 while on set shows him with hair on his face and head. Meloni changed this look, and now fans were used to seeing him with no beard and a clean-shaved head.

On August 11, 2023, the actor shared photos with his daughter. He said the pair started their evening on a hike and ended with a scooter ride home.

What Is Meloni’s Approach to Fatherhood?

Meloni and his wife, Doris Sherman Williams, have two kids, Sophia and Dante. The 62-year-old said his approach to fatherhood is more about persuasion than using force. He once politely guided his daughter to pick up ballet as a sport when dancing wasn't being offered at her school.
