"Law & Order: SVU" has snagged a big guest star — more specifically, My Big Fat Greek Wedding star Nia Vardalos, TVGuide.com has learned.
The Oscar nominee will appear in an upcoming episode as Counselor Minonna Efron, whose client is on trial for assault and murder. D.A. Barba (Raul Esparza) thinks the case is an easy win because he sees her disorganized manner as incompetence. However, his case begins to fall apart when she thwarts his efforts repeatedly.
Vardalos' episode is set to air on Jan. 30 and will also feature "Y&R" star Victoria Rowell and a cameo by The Howard Stern Show's Fred Norris.
The NBC procedural has also booked "Lost" alum Harold Perrineau to play a career criminal named Brian Traymor for a Feb. 6th episode.
