Reneé Rapp, known for her roles in Sex Lives of College Girls and the Mean Girls musical, has shared her dream guest starring role on Law & Order: Special Victims Unit.
The actress-singer was asked on the Today show's 8 Before 8 series what character she would play on SVU, and she had a unique response.
Rapp jokingly said she would play the role of Mariska Hargitay's lover, Captain Olivia Benson. "Let me tell ya. I would be Mariska Hargitay's lover. She would be gay, finally," Rapp said with a smile.
She referenced an episode where Benson considered her sexuality, and her partner Elliot Stabler (played by Christopher Meloni) seemed to assume she was a lesbian.
Rapp imagined her storyline unfolding on SVU, saying, "I would be her lover and we would somehow get tangled in an undercover kind of miss[ion], probably with a drug empire."
Throughout the show's 26-season run, Benson has had several romantic interests, but fans have overwhelmingly wanted her to end up with Stabler.
Meloni has teased a potential return to SVU, sharing on-set photos with Hargitay and co-star Dann Florek.
"Hangin with friends on a Friday nite," he wrote in the caption. While Rapp has shifted her focus to music, releasing her sophomore album Bite Me, she remains a talented actress with a strong fan base.
