Corey Cott Remembers First ‘SVU’ Episode With Anthony Edwards as His Dad
Cott said the role was one of his favorite TV experiences after several auditions and a strong rapport with Anthony Edwards.
Cott played Ellis Griffin in the Law & Order: SVU episode Rape Interrupted, appearing as the son of Patrick Griffin, portrayed by Anthony Edwards.
A "full circle moment" occurred for Cott because his parents grew up loving Top Gun, and he told his father that Goose was playing his dad.
Mariska Hargitay, as Captain Olivia Benson, challenged Cott as a leader during filming; Ice noted 10 years ago that guest stars carry the stakes of episodes.
Having "always" wanted to be on the series, Cott auditioned a few times before securing the role and now appreciates watching guest stars perform.
Law & Order: SVU will return for Season 28 in Fall 2026, airing on Thursdays at 9/8c on NBCMore.
