How Mariska Hargitay Feels About Her Character InLaw & Order
Mariska Hargitay is the lead actor who portrays the role of Olivia Benson. Starting off as a detective, her character quickly rose through the ranks until she made squad captain. In an interview withPeople,here’s what Hargitay had to say about her character.
“As I became more comfortable with the character, you saw this powerful woman emerge. In a way it was a rebirth, and that was powerful and exciting and beautifully uncomfortable to reckon with one’s own power.”
She further continued,
“We’ve been on a parallel journey. There’s a thing WWOBD, what would Olivia Benson do? The fans would always talk about it, and one day it hit me. I also have those moments where I’ve sort of slipped into her. If there’s a crisis, I just take over and lead like that. Being strong and fearless. It’s sort of this perfect feminist story.”
