"Law & Order: SVU" Promotes Donal Logue to Recurring Status
4/9/14

"Law & Order: SVU" welcomed back a familiar face.

Donal Logue, who guest-starred in a March episode of the veteran NBC procedural, made a splashy return as Lieutenant Declan Murphy in Wednesday's pivotal hour, 'Beast's Obsession',"taking over from Olivia Benson (Mariska Hargitay) as acting commander of the New York Special Victims Unit.

The episode culminated in a confrontation between Olivia and "The Beast," William Lewis (Pablo Schreiber), who committed suicide.

With this episode, Logue has been promoted to recurring status for the rest of "SVU's" 15th season, The Hollywood Reporter has learned.

Logue assuming the top post marks the latest change on "SVU" this season. Dann Florek's exit as Captain Cragen in episode 11 was the catalyst for Benson's temporary stint as boss, and Richard Belzer, who had played John Munch since "Homicide: Life on the Street" began in 1993, departed in episode five.

Logue's "SVU" gig marks a busy few weeks for the actor as he also has recurring roles on FX's "Sons of Anarchy" and History's "Vikings".

He next appears as Detective Harvey Bullock in Fox's Batman prequel "Gotham".

I kinda enjoyed Olivia being in charge. Oh Well I think he'll be a good addition.
