As for what Pisano can tease about the rest of the existing season? Velasco is set to coordinate with the Organized Crime job force, working carefully with investigator Jet Slootmaekers (Ainsley Seiger).
“I’m a huge fan of stars and [Ainsley] is an incredible starlet. She’s so crafted and she’s so imaginative,” he shared of the approaching crossover. “I met her for the first time as the character. And the things she was doing? So unique and so creative and original.”
And, as the 23 rd season of SVU wanes, Pisano exposed Velasco’s background and morality will be tested.
“There’s one episode that deals with priests that are privy to information based on confessions, and they can’t disclose it because of clergy vows, and it’s obviously going to trigger Velasco’s religious background and his faith,” he teased. “He’s gonna have to face decisions that push and pull in terms of what he thinks is right and just what he believes and how personal his connection to the church is.”
For more of Pisano, capture the Law & & Order: Organized Crime crossover occasion tonight, May 5, at 10 p.m on NBC.
