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.

Previously, it was reported that The Ultimate Fighter 1 light heavyweight winner Forrest Griffin would be guest-starring on an episode of Law & Order: SVU, although no specific details were given regarding the nature of his inclusion on the show.
However, late last week, various MMA websites began reporting that the 28-year-old mixed-martial artist will be appearing on the drama series on Tuesday, November 13, and that producers have tapped him for a “bad guy” role.
For those who are not so familiar with Griffin, he most recently defeated PRIDE standout Mauricio “Shogun” Rua at UFC 76, and the victory has placed him near the top of the UFC's list of 205-pound contenders. He is, however, still recovering from a recent shoulder surgery, which is expected to keep him sidelined for the remainder of the year.
To learn more about Griffin's Law & Order: SVU episode, read on for spoilers.
