Actress Michaela McManus, who is best known for playing Lindsey on the fifth season of One Tree Hill, didn't have a particularly compelling role on the series. Despite being engaged to lead character Lucas, Lindsey spent much of her screen time worrying that her fiance was in love with someone else. She eventually called off the wedding and vowed never to give Lucas another chance, only to randomly return and declare her love for him in the season finale. McManus brought a certain authority to the role, but she was never given much to do.
According to TV Guide, McManus will soon be moving on from the wacky love triangle shenanigans. The actress recently landed a major role as the new assistant district attorney on Law & Order: SVU.

Last month, BuddyTV reported that a couple of film stars will be joining Law & Order: SVU as guest stars for their 199th and 200th episode. These film stars happen to be Bill Pullman and Robin Williams. Pullman's episode entitled "Closet," featured him playing Curt Moss, an editor of a fictional New York newspaper who later surfaces as Olivia Benson's (Mariska Hargitay) new boyfriend. Pullman's character got tangled up with Benson and the rest of the detectives in the Special Victims Unit after Benson tipped Moss off about Lincoln Haver's case.
Tonight, another grueling episode of Law & Order: SVU will air, featuring Robin Williams as a good guy gone bad after losing the people loved the most.

If the box office returns of his last few movies are any indication, I'm not sure anyone is begging to see more of Robin Williams. He's what I like to call a "horseradish actor," because a little bit of him goes a long way. Despite my opinion, somebody out there must be begging for a glimpse of the manic comedian, because it was recently announced that he'll be making a rare television appearance on the 200th episode of Law & Order: SVU, airing April 29. Since the show isn't exactly a laugh riot, Williams will be tackling a dramatic role, playing an engineer whose life has gone terribly awry. Also showing up in April will be film actor Bill Pullman, who will play the love interest of Mariska Hargitay's character, Olivia Benson.
