Elizabeth gives one of the most brilliant performances and one of the best I’ve ever seen on ‘SVU.’ She has no problem going to this dark place. It is an unforgettable performance.” That would be executive producer Neal Baer raving about Emmy nominated actress Elizabeth Mitchell who plays a dark, chilling and horrific character on next week’s iconic ‘Law & Order: SVU.’ “It’s always challenging and exciting and an honor to be on a show that keeps your work to the highest quality that they’ve already set. And that’s the fun of it. Complicated roles are most interesting to me. I studied acting as a kid and wanted to be an actor. I got to work with Jeremy Irons in this and he is everything you would want him to be. It was a very weighty role and a heavy role but at the end of the day I let it go.” That’s Elizabeth Mitchell who goes home to her husband and 5 year old son, talking to me about her gruesome storyline episode ‘Totem’ directed by Jonathan Kaplan who took Oscar winner Jodie Foster straight to best actress in ‘The Accused.’ What was Elizabeth’s favorite role she’s ever played? I loved playing Linda in ‘Gia.’ Linda was the closest to me I’ve ever played, a young woman who fell in love, she was her own little person. I enjoyed the peace that I had with her.” Her love interest in ‘Gia’ was of course played by none other than Angelina Jolie. ‘Totem’ airs Wednesday, March 30 at 10p ET on NBC. This is must see TV.
