Ice-T & Coco Austin on Married Life, the Business of Being Ice, & Coco's Bodacious Body
Very interesting and informative interview.
Ice-T also talks about Chris's exit from SVU and Mariska's reduced role. This is a long article so I am only posting the part about Mariska & Chris.
PR.com: Ice, there was some breaking news today. Chris Meloni announced that he won’t be returning for season 13 of Law & Order SVU and Mariska Hargitay will be scaling back her role on the show. What’s the future of SVU without them?
Ice-T: From what I understand Mariska wanted to work less, so that’s done. I just heard yesterday about Chris’s situation so that was kind of like a bomb for me. I wasn’t really prepared for that. Right now I’m in negotiations. They haven’t really sealed my deal because I had to wait for those two to finish their deal. They’re moving a lot of things around at SVU. I know we got picked back up. Everybody is trying to get themselves in a good position so I don’t really know what’s going on, and I don’t know how Chris leaving will adjust my position on the show. I don’t think I’m going to step up and be number two because I didn’t really sign up to be a star. I kind of signed up to be the co-star ‘cause I have more flexibility. The honest to God truth, I’m kind of shocked about what happened with Chris and probably by the end of the week I’ll make my deal, or they’ll tell me to go take a hike, so we’ll see.
PR.com: I hope not. I don’t want you to take a hike. I like you on the show!
Ice-T: That’s not the vibe, but I have to go in there and try to get a paycheck too. They bullshittin’ right now; they gotta get it together (laughs).
